Don’t do dual boot. Windows will purposefully fuck up your MBR so Linux disappears every update and it’s a bitch to fix.

Run that shit in a VM. It’s 2025 you will get good performance.

nope, adobe apps are allergic to VMs too, less so but still. believe me i'm not hyped about having a whole dedicated OS just so i can run 4 programs, but dual boot is my only option

since i'll set all that up past end of life for win10 i won't be getting any security updates so i can safely just disable that option altogether, which will hopefully make the two OS coexist peacefully

I think the dual boot problems are generally associated to using the same drive. If you have one drive for each you can use BIOS to control boot order instead.

That's been my experience as well. Dual boot, separate drives. Never had Windows touch it.
