Does your motherboard have a boot menu option?
I haven’t done 2 Linux installs in this way, but for Linux / Windows I don’t really “dual boot”. I have two separate drives, with two separate installations. I can boot into either one, even if the other drive is missing.
I did each install with all of the the other drives removed from the machine to keep things clean. Then I can just select whichever drive I want to boot into from the motherboards / UEFI boot menu.
The only downside to this is that I do have to select a default boot drive, so if I’m not paying attention, Windows update will reboot into the Linux installation since it’s the default drive.

Anti homeless / hostile architecture. Prevents people sitting or sleeping there.

It’s really the only viable option for iOS apps.
To be fair, I pretty much hate everything about the Mac, but Xcode is about the only thing I use it for, and it just gets worse with every release.

There’s really no other reasonable way to build iOS apps. AppCode was a thing, but was retired a few years ago.

That’s only thing I use the Mac for. Everything else is in Linux or a Windows VM (for Windows desktop apps that can’t be done outside of Visual Studio).

Swift.
There really aren’t any other valid options for building native iOS apps.
Luckily, we don’t really do much native iOS dev anymore, so I’m just maintaining 3 apps, and not building anything new.
I only have to fire up the Mac for a few days every few months.

Hate both, but I’d run Windows over Mac any day (and I develop in both regularly since I have projects that require Windows and Mac, and will for a long time). But some of this is probably due to having to use the steaming pile of crap that is Xcode.

They just forgot to include “no bugs” in the prompt.

2 months.
I've been writing the same software since 2003.
Someone left some real crap in there.
