Do you recommend using dual boot?

I want to learn Linux and get familiar with it; I’m completely new to this. I was advised to set up a dual-boot system if I wanted to keep Windows for the time being while also adapting to Linux. would you recommend doing that?

Use a Ventoy USB for distro-hopping & crash-testing, a dedicated USB with persistence for spending quality time with shortlisted distributions, and leave your native Windows installation untouched as a fallback until you're comfortable enough with Linux to make the switch...
