Do I keep Windows on it or do I install Linux?
Only Distro I've tried in the past was Ubuntu during Covid

literally only use linux if you want to experiment or think its interesting. Install fedora or arch (it's not actually hard if you use archinstall) then try to dabble in gentoo, if you like it keep it. Gentoo is suprisingly easy to install if you use the GUI and is probably to install than arch. Nix and void are possibilities if you're ok with turning into a tranny, but overall decent experimentation distros

Marge do you mean the desktop iso? All that does is give you a live environment to copy paste commands from the documentation from. Its basically as good as any other distro to install gentoo from

I would immediately install linux on it. But that's what I do with every computer I have.

If ubuntu is the only thing you've tried in the past. I would say keep it fairly "simple" for yourself. Pick something like cachyos where you don't actually need to know anything, and everything is set up for you. Arch, and some of the other minimal distros are great. With the caveat, that you already know what to do, and everything you need. Installing the distro is the easy part there. Actually configuring everything is where I could see new people getting frustrated and giving up.

use cachyOS as a dualboot

basically 'buntu used to be the most popular linux distro for a long time, but now its dogshit ans cachyOS took the position of ubuntu (plus its faster than ubuntu)

except fortnite won't run on it because easyanticheat not gonna add cachyos support yet

Fedora is winning right now with the easy anticheat and is SO easy to use
