Just bought a pc laptop and want to dual boot Linux. Windows will be for some games, Linux for everything else. Would this be the right place to ask for advice?

I appreciate this input, thank you. You make a valid point. I don’t game much, so there wouldn’t be too much back and forth. This is also just about learning what it’s like to use Linux. I have a backup apple device, which is the OS I’m used to, and it would remain my daily driver for all essential tasks. For now, at least. So I have the luxury of trying stuff out on the pc laptop but not being bound by it.
Then yeah, dual booting is probably a fine option. I still recommend trying out a distro that has a lot of gaming stuff setup out of the box, and see if your games run well there. Even if they don’t, you still have a good desktop Linux. Specifically, my recommendation is Garuda. The main build has two versions, one of which is the same as the first, but with a ton of gaming-related stuff already installed and ready to go. It’s also setup as a “mac-alike”, so you’ll probably be right at home, if you’re coming from MacOS.
