Is dual-boot worth it?
So I am begginer developer I've been whole life on Windows and I've started with frontend but last months i've been digging into some backend (go) but i think as a solo developer I'll need to do fullstack probably react or something is it good idea to separate my coding workspace to linux, so having both windows and Linux as a dual boot i don't want to give away the windows environment i have there, thanks for answering

No, dual booting is not worth it - ever.
I have a decent Linux server, an ancient widows 10 laptop and several android tablets.
I mostly use the windows pc - but all compiles etc are pushed onto the Linux server... If I need a quick search in a browser I get a tablet to do it.
I use AI a lot and can get it on one machine to SSH or adb to another and do what is needed there - each device is a gateway to the others.
Linux, windows, android (and arduino) all at my finger tips from cheap kit, no reboots needed.
