    Dual booting is fine if you are using 2 Linux OSes.

    If one partition has windows installed an update can hijack the Linux partition or remove the grub.

        It will depend on the update.

        Either way, If I want to have a windows install, it’s either

        • in a vm
        • on a different physical disk that is kept physically unplugged from the motherboard until it is needed and then I’ll plug it in while unseating the Linux drives and any other drives windows does not need access to
        • a different computer
