Dual booting presents a number of issues, including the most annoying of all: Linux likes your BIOS time set to UTC, while Windows likes it to be local time. Switching back and forth is a chore.
This is mostly good advice but it can lead to a lack of commitment if youre trying to totally switch. My advice would be to get the seperate hard drive but take your windows drive out and shove it in a drawer somewhere until the transitionary period is over. Dual booting is awesome but it's super easy to give in and boot back into windows as soon as something presents a moderate challenge. Sooner or later, the linux installation falls into disuse and before you know it, the next stable release has come out so you decide to just nuke your previous installation and try again. The linux path is full of pitfalls like these.

Seems like good advice. Kinda crazy to see a 25 second video just for that but uh yeah, seems like good advice for keeping one sane
