A few comments for you:
* You're unlikely to get us to talk about what Linux is "best," as
* you put it. It's all Linux, and it's all good. The rest is
* personal preference. Think of it as personal taste.
* You will have to work to get ntfs support on Linux. It is
* possible, but it won't be installed for you by default because
* Microsoft is very proprietary about what ntfs is, so the license
* terms are anathema to our open source community.
* Dual boots are certainly possible.
* You'll have more luck using Linux than use DOS under today's
* Windows.
* Forget about Gnopernicus. It's not ready for daily use yet.

Good luck.

If Linux can't solve your computing problem, you need a different problem.
