I'm using a gaming laptop with 456 GB of disk space and I'm looking to dual boot Windows and Linux. Since I game a lot and care about privacy, I'm thinking of making Linux my main OS, but I still need Windows for work purposes. How should I allocate the disk space between the two operating systems? Should I go for an even split of 228 GB each, or should I prioritize one over the other?

Have you considered running Windows in a virtual machine on your Linux setup? It’s a great way to keep Linux as your daily driver while still having access to Windows for work, especially if your work applications don’t require intensive hardware support.
If your laptop has room for two internal drives, I recommend installing each OS on its own drive. This will save you a lot of trouble down the line. Plus, managing your systems will be much more straightforward!
That sounds interesting! I hadn't thought of that. Would it affect the performance of any gaming apps I might use in Windows?
