Micro$oft's making me their bitch again.
Should I dual-boot linux?
Which distro?
Why? You'll only be able to use Window$ for a fortnight, just install Gentoo :^)

Seriously, wat do?
I just started learning C++ too. Only thing i have is a hello world but I don't want another 16GB of dev shit added to my hard drive.

Despite what people say, distro does not matter that much.
If you want something that just works, go with a *Ubuntu. Pick the default DE you think you like and see how it is.
If you have hardware issues with another distro, check if it works with Ubuntu before giving up.
I personally like KDE.
It offers great control and whether you like to configure via GUI or config file, KDE let you do what you want and still offers a traditional desktop.
Maybe you find something you like as well.

Saying "install Gentoo :^)" was just meme. I personally love Debian. Although right now I use 8.1, only because this computer is temporary until my ThinkPad gets here. Do some experimenting with virtual machines for the two weeks of windows you have now, and find a Linx distro that works for you. - Jack

Because who cares if it's a backdoor when you're using 10.
Don't duel boot.
Download architect installer.
Write that ISO as bootable to a USB and boot from that shit.
Install and enjoy.
