We have a guide you can use to dual-boot Windows 11 and Linux if you want to try it out. Dual-booting allows you to choose Linux or Windows every time you turn on your computer, so you get the full experience with either one, and you don't miss out on any performance while using them. However, if you want to see the full native performance of Linux and you're willing to mess with some more advanced settings, you can also install Linux alongside Windows. Install Linux on your PC via dual-booting We have a guide on how to use a virtual machine to try out Windows 11, but the same steps generally apply to Linux as well, so you can follow that guide once you have the right Linux installer. For example, you can download Ubuntu here.
Then, you can download your favorite Linux distribution as an ISO file from the internet. This is built into Windows 11 Pro and most other SKUs, but you can install it on Windows 11 Home with some fiddling. To set up a virtual machine, you'll need virtualization software such as Microsoft's own Hyper-V. Virtual machines give you the full experience of the Linux distro you're installing, so you can get a feel for what it's like to use Linux. As the name suggests, this uses virtualization technology to create a Linux experience that you can run inside Windows without any impact on your Windows installation. If you want to experience a full Linux installation without messing with your disk or removing Windows, virtual machines are another great option.
