Hi Yash,

Thank you for sharing your experience :)

I have tried and performed dual-booting multiple times by now but the main problem I faced was some update or security scan(maybe?)

I would like to add here. Once my company gave me dell xps 15 9570 ( 32 gb ram and i9 8th gen) with dual boot Ubuntu + Windows10 Home Edition. After 2 or 3 attempts , I installed Ubuntu+Windows dual boot. One day, windows asked me to update the bios, I updated it. And Boom ! It crashed. I tried several troubleshooting methods,wasted almost whole day. None of them worked. Went to Dell centre, they told me some update in Windows made the system crashed :( ... So, I usually don't recommend dual boot to my friends who are still learning some web dev.

And Yes, WSL2 is life saver :)

Thank you Yash for the comment :)
