Literally every Linux Distro would be the best Linux distro, with specs like that
http://distrowatch.com
Now my personal suggest would these
https://solus-project.com
https://linuxmint.com
https://elementary.io
https://chakralinux.org
https://zorinos.com
https://kororaproject.org

Why dual boot and not virtual machine?
If you cared about security you would have an isolated machine without any storage.

You should try out either any derivative of Ubuntu, or be on the edge like me and try Opensuse!
I'll give a +1 to that openSUSE suggestion. OpenSUSE needs more love!
I always try to use Gentoo and just always HATE the flagging system. It's not a bad distro, just the software handling isn't very friendly and just obtuse for the sake of being obtuse.

I tried both FreeBSD and PC-BSD, I could never get linux apps to boot off it, i know its a different kernel, but DAMN ITS A PAIN
I'd say any distro, although I recommend either Ubuntu or Arch (or Antergos if you want to install Arch using a wizard instead). The desktop you will want to use to make it feel like Windows is Cinnamon. Antergos allows you to install the cinnamon desktop from the wizard while using Ubuntu will have you installing a different desktop and then you will have to manually install cinnamon later. Also anything based on Arch will have the latest versions of the software in it's repos, while Ubuntu's repo has outdated software that gets updated every 6 months or so.
I personally use Linux Mint 18.1 with the Cinnamon desktop as the only operating system on my personal computer.
I am just going to give a slight push for Solus Linux. I've been running it for 3 weeks now and I fucking love it! It's new and doesn't have all the software for Linux. But the repos have everything a desktop distro can ever need and the devs are always open for suggestions if you want to see something added.
Seriously, I've given quite a number of suggestions to them and they've added every game I've suggested

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
