You don't have to switch.

You can dual-boot. GParted or most distro's installers will resize your windows partition, just don't forget to disable fastboot in windows first.

You can run Linux in a VM. Granted, this means you can't really use a good tiling window manager, which is one of my main reasons for not using Windows.

You can run Windows in a VM. Take a look at Qubes to see just how integrated this can be.

I've run dual boot systems before. Not a fan of having to reboot to switch basically between programs. Thats why I used a Virtual machine and now I use Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Once we move to fully .net core shop, I'll be making the move to linux completely.
