Ideally, I would prefer to dual boot ( two different drives if necessary) Windows 11 and Linux Mint. From what I understand, the crap Microsoft is pulling now will prevent this. Is it because of bitlocker?

Either way, another option would be to dual boot windows 10 and Linux mint. I would keep Windows 10 offline, which is why I would prefer to dual boot Windows 11, since it and Linux would both be online.

So are either of these scenarios realistic?

I’d like to get answers before my post is deleted. So thank you in advance.

    Dual boot sucks in the long run. Every time you run a system update on windows or Linux you run the risk of messing up your boot loader.

    I recommend not dual booting. Either use a VM for windows or have a dedicated machine that’s windows only.
