I have kept windows on a separate ssd, but I find dual booting very disruptive, I don't want to reboot to change between tasks, I've tried it already in the past and it sucks.

This is why I am unfortunately back on windows. I use a couple programs everyday, and unfortunately they do not run on Linux. And there is not a usable alternative either.

I was rebooting to windows, doing what I had to, and then rebooting again. But it is just so disruptive and not user friendly.

I’ve tried dual booting multiple times over the last few years, but always end up with windows as the primary because restarting my computer 6+ times a day got so disruptive. Until the windows only software moves I’m going to be on Windows.

Have you tried creating a windows VM inside of Linux?
