okay I feel dumb for this question but for my next internship I need Linux on a laptop.
I have two options.
1, Current laptop with windows dual boot or vm
2, shitty laptop just to Linux.
help me out guys :-/

Tell them to put linux on the current laptop?

@JonnyCodewalker well the reason I'm afraid is every single time I get troubles with that and have to wipe everything every time.
@jaread i don't get a laptop from the company since I won't work longer then 4 months for now.
-Edit
this is my laptop (personal)

I'd go with VM, it's also great to keep it clean and be able to give your VM to the company if needed.
For my internship, I got my company to lend me a SSD to install Linux and the tools needed, with the intent of giving it back as a Reverse Engineering & SDR ready environment.
But unless you have performance constraints like I did, the VM is a good way to minimise headaches and keep versatility to the max.

Just my 2 cents: Sounds like you have 3 options; )

@CptFox the reason they gave me for installing it as a dual boot over the vm is because I will need wine as well

@maykdev Can't wine run inside a VM? I can see why it wouldn't, guessing from previous experience running several VMs at once, but I would try anyway.

Well ask them to lend you hardware for you to do your job. Be it a separate drive to install it on, USB3-SATA adaptors are fast enough to avoid bottlenecking whatever they find to lend you, or a currently unused machine that you could use.

As an intern (I guessed from the 4 months thing), you're probably not paid nearly enough justifying buying hardware to be able to do your job decently. Don't buy anything you wouldn't have bought if you didn't have the job with your own money.

Dual boot it. Linux and Windows laptop is best of both worlds. I don't know what's great about windows but you'll be able to boot into it at least.

@CptFox I have asked for an machine or any form of hardware. but they said since they're still looking for employees I couldn't get it because when I start a few others will as well.

Wait, Wine on Linux in a VM on Windows
... Xkcd environment

If you do a VM you can take snapshots as you go in case you mess something up which is pretty nice, especially if you aren't super comfortable with Linux yet
