But you're not a new user. I think installing linux is daunting enough 
without that additional complication.

I haven't installed anything but debian for a couple of years but I know 
the debian installer gives you options to create a dule-boot system.  Some 
of the other installers may be even easier. But a new user is going to want 
to take all the defaults. The Red Hat 7.3 installer pretty much allowed you 
to do that and it got even better in 8 and 9. By now, you should be able to 
install fedora by just pressing enter over and over.

I think if a newbie tries to do a dual-boot installation it's going to ask 
questions they are not going to know how to answer.
