I plan to do a pc upgrade very soon. Alongside that I plan to start with Mint. Is there any real or big downsides to dual booting ? Aside from the harddrive space lost ?

If I like or really like my time with Mint I would probably switch permanently but I felt like I wanted to test it for a couple of months before making a complete switch.

Im a big freeze-gamer so that impacts my consideration. Dont really play much multiplayer shooters so I dont have a problem with kernel anticheat games not working.

    Secure Boot and Fast startup if enabled on the windows side tend to cause more problems than baseline.

    Expect Windows updates to nuke the bootloader of Linux fairly often, do NOT throw away your install live USB.
