This is what I have been doing for years.
There is absolutely no need to burn the bridge.
Just use whatever works best. This is not a religion, just a work tool.

Before you commit to dual boot you can try live system - booted from a CD or an USB memory stick. For example Mint Linux install media is a live CD (loadable to USB memory stick), so you can try it before installing.

As a next step you can download installed and configured image for one of numerous VMs out there. You can be up and running 3 minutes after download finishes.
