I'd say no. The effort to setup a dual boot and then hope it never breaks isn't with it. I'd recommend installing into a virtual machine and running from there. If you break something in your install then it's easy to start over and it's way easier for initial setup.

the effort to setup dual boot? most distros that sell themselves as beginner friendly have an option for dualboot set up during install. I have dualbooted windows and zorin for 6 months+ without something ever breaking.
