I am transitioning from using only MS Windows to using both Windows and Linux for practical home use (office apps. suite, file and printer sharing, basic gaming, internet access, Netflix).
To allow usage of a great number of such applications (more freedom), minimize the weekly time spent in configuring and maintaining the system (fixing, backing up, updating), and other factors that I may be unaware of, should I:
(A) install both operating systems as primary and dual boot or
(B) install one OS as primary and create the secondary OS as a virtual machine? Which OS should be primary?
