I wouldn't mind dual-booting but I strongly prefer having independent physical devices for each OS. The way that the bootloaders can try to clobber one another can result in frustrating breakage.
Unfortunately my MSI board's BIOS doesn't seem have support for enable/disable the SATA or NVMe controller. I'd gladly take a recommendation of a micro-ITX board that does. This kind of thing doesn't make the spec sheet.

If you then make Linux the primary boot disk in bios, grub re-maps the drives so when booting Windows, it thinks it is the primary drive and never re-writes the Linux boot loader. I did that for years without issue.
