Thank you! I realized that I will need a backup PC to use for my work if my work laptop goes down. Is there some fuckery that can allow me to boot from both OS's somehow? Like choose before anything loads

Oh yes!

If you have a big enough hard drive then you can install Linux alongside Windows. You will get that option when installing. When you boot, you will be able to choose...

Caveat, win11 requires secure boot which I haven't dealt with, so you may have to research if that's the case. There will be lots of info online though - it will depend upon your distro though
