Sure, it’s doable. With 50 GB available on your SSD, you can run Windows 10 Home alongside a Linux distribution like Pop OS, Ubuntu, Lubuntu, or Xubuntu. It depends on how much space each app needs and whether you want to keep the Linux option for later. Many users stick with Windows for flexibility, especially if they plan to remove the Linux setup eventually. GRUB is common in Linux dual-boot setups, so you can keep it as a backup.

I managed to reduce the size, which means continuing with Windows bootloader for Linux dual boot might be challenging. You could remove Grab if you don’t need Linux.

For safety, how many minimums should you keep? You’re mainly using it for browsing and a few office tasks—maybe consider installing Dota 2 and RimWorld if that’s feasible.

I managed it with 33 GB, that should work fine.

You've just set up Popos along with several development tools like Node.js, VS Code Docker, Insomnia, and PyCharm. After the full update and installation of NVIDIA drivers, your system is using about 22GB of space. If you chose Ubuntu and performed a minimal install, it would be even more compact.
