Looking for a distro to dual boot with Win 11 (self.linux_gaming)

I currently have a win 11 machine and would like to dual boot with Linux. Looking at some of the different options, it seems many aren't recommended for dual booting. Are there any that are?

Someone just told me about ventoy and how it's great for dual booting but I haven't looked it up to see if it's a usb only thing or what.

Also PopOS is pretty cool for a OS to try, it's what I'm about to setup on my dual boot machine since its been recommended for gaming

Ventoy is a tool specifically for booting from USB drives.

Nah. Ventoy is for distro hopping and testing out distros live environments. Dual booting is more a thing handled by Calamares installer.
