My plan is to buy an NVMe today, install linux as a dual boot, but use linux as a daily driver, to see if it meets my needs before committing to it.

My main needs are gaming, local AI (stable diffusion and oobabooga), and browser stuff.

I have experience with Mint (recently) and Ubuntu (long ago). Any problems with my plan? Will my OS choice meet my needs?

Thanks!

    Dual-boot is the way to go TBH, especially with a NVME drive, even if you land on Linux as your daily driver

    Reboot and switching OS if needed for compatibility is only a 30 second or less process.

      Yes exactly. I switched BIOS to load ubuntu, and it’s working perfectly! I needed to flip back to windows for some info and it was a breeze to reboot between both.
