The writing is on the wall--I suspect the next Windows OS will be a subscription service. Gather your ISOs while ye may.

If you have a desktop maybe install a second drive, install Ubuntu on that, and see how it goes?

I do! You mean like an actual second physical drive? Does that bring advantages compared to partitioning a single drive besides the space?

If both OSs are on their own drive, Windows causes slightly less trouble with Linux. Plus, you can just repurpose the second drive if Linux doesn't work out. No repartitioning your Windows drive again.

It does in that it's easy to do and it's easy to remove or switch to entirely. Partitioning is easy in its own way, but it does divide up your drive.
