Tell me please, is it better to install Linux as a second virtual system or is it all the same complete separately?

I have an Ubuntu virtual machine inside a Win host, despite the fact that Ubuntu is the system that I actively use 90% of my work time. Why is that:
It all depends on the tasks that you set for yourself. If they are similar to those that I have indicated - try it. May like it. Moreover, now there is more and more virtualization around, the world is slowly flowing into the clouds. This experience may be useful in the future.

Virtually installed operating system leads to virtual knowledge and virtual experience

It's better to put it first. And the only one.

It depends on what goal you are pursuing by setting linux

To begin with - a virtual machine, to continue - as the only system, but on another HDD.
I was able to migrate to linux normally only on the 6th attempt (I used win8 for about 3 years, trying different distributions in parallel) and several sleepless nights.
Now I have a system that I'm happy with. Before that, I tried everything I could get my hands on, from animal builds to hackintosh, settled on Elementary (which is almost Ubuntu inside, but outwardly disguises itself as a mac).
Check the hardware for compatibility before setting the system as the main one. My case would be much simpler if I knew about the problems with Nvidia's Optimus graphics and drivers for my wifi adapter.

If you install it for the first time or an unfamiliar distribution and little experience, it's better of course on a virtual machine. Further - depends on tasks.

When I installed Ubuntu for the first time, it ended with a disk format.
When I put it on the second time - the situation repeated itself.
Therefore, it is better to start virtually.

A complete second system.
Experience is priceless.

Better unix-like systems are the main one, and bad windows are the second system.
I use it myself. Very satisfied. True, there are points and nuances for what to come sometimes to boot into Windows.

The first time I installed Linux (ubuntu) as a second OS. But after a few months, I realized that I never had to boot under Windows! It was decided to demolish Windows because of uselessness))
PS: now I have Debian on my working computer, on my laptop and on the server

I have one OS. And this is Gentoo. I also recommend you immediately on Linux. You will gain experience faster and easier.

If the goal is speed, then the old computer must have Linux.
If everything is fine with the performance of the computer and the goal is to gain experience and work with proprietary programs in Linux, then the Linux virtual machine is a normal option.
As several people have already unsubscribed, it depends on the goals.
