I unfortunately don’t have the money for a second SSD at the moment. I considered partitioning my drive, but I only have 500GB and it feels like that would be a pretty big issue if I don’t figure things out quickly enough.

Yeah, don’t partition your drive just to dual boot Linux. While Baxzite has in install option for only patching the bootloader when Windows breaks it, having to run it after most Windows updates is still not something you should sign up for

I advise against dual booting from one drive anyhow. Not because it doesn’t work just fine in concept, but because windows literally nukes the boot data randomly sometimes. It’s fucking insane but it’s a real thing that happens. Seems like something you can only call malware but instead we call it windows.
