I considered dual booting between Linux and Windows 10 Pro for my new build. I’m not sure which distro to choose, but I’m open to suggestions. Since my main use is gaming, I want something reliable and fast. Ubuntu is familiar to me, but I’m curious what others recommend. For storage, I should pick something that supports dual operating systems well. Thanks for your advice!

there are many programs that allow dual booting from one disk.

You should consider a slightly bigger size, as larger SSDs tend to cost more.

They're quite affordable options. A 240+ is sufficient, but a 500 GB offers a solid boost, priced between $70 and $80 for top SATA drives.

Getting each OS can sometimes be simpler, around 120-240gb for Linux unless you're a developer. For Windows, you might need 500gb to 1tb if you plan to save a lot of games.

Occasionally it's accurate that I use Linux inside a virtual machine. However, dual booting should be perfectly acceptable.

I suggest trying mageia or opensuse for beginners. Opensuse boasts a significantly bigger community. Mageia provides more desktop options.

I share the same dual-boot configuration with Windows 10 Pro and Debian 9. Ubuntu 18.04LTS also works well. Each operating system operates independently on its own SSD, though for Debian I retained the /home partition on a different HDD. This choice typically appears in the installer for Debian and Ubuntu GUI versions when you're new to managing it yourself. It's advisable to install Windows first before Linux, so the GRUB boot loader can automatically detect and include the Windows installation in the boot menu for convenient access.
