Looking for a distro to dual boot with Win 11

I currently have a win 11 machine and would like to dual boot with Linux. Looking at some of the different options, it seems many aren't recommended for dual booting. Are there any that are?

  • dualbooting is often messy because windows update can delete things required for linux to boot.
    or to be more specific, it deletes grub, the bootloader.
    i've heard you can use a different bootloader called refined to prevent this from happening, that might be worth looking into.
    as for which distro, it doesn't really matter. the only real differences between distros are the package managers and repositories (servers for application and update downloads) they use by default. if you like frequent updates, you choose one that has frequent updates, if you don't, you don't
