I personally have less experience with Linux than any other OS. I've had Google OS, Safari OS, Windows (still a little hard to program in) but never Linux.

I know that from somewhat Google evolved from Linux, however Linux is old. I prefer new operating systems and or low level languages.

From what I know, this is the evolution of Programming:

 Binary, Fortran, ALGOL, Linux, C++, Python and Java, HTML, CSS 

I'd love to know more about Linux, but it seems quite materialistic, and I haven't seen much emulators for Linux.

Should I dual-boot Windows with Linux on my Acer Nitro V Laptop? It is pretty beefy, so I expect it to compile Linux well. If so, what distro should I choose?

You dont really need to compile linux, unless you are going for something like gentoo
Are you a beginner or not? And why do you want to dual boot (want to try linux but need windows for school programs, etc)

I wouldn't call myself a beginner, and I meant installing it and running it with compiling (idk why I said that ). Also, I have programs that only run on Windows, and I have lots of files I need to back up. It would just be a hassle, and it wouldn't be worth it.

I see. You have to go into root and then do a bunch of other stuff, thank goodness I use ChromeOS where those are pre-installed

Yeah, I had to sign in as root. Fortunately, I set the root password to ‘r’ meaning I can sign in as root.
