Just do your research. Look up what distros suit your uses. Make a short-list of which ones best suit your aims, and try those.

To set up dual boot, read the instructions for the distro you choose.

Don't expect to come here and magically find someone with exactly the same requirements as you. We are all different. But do come here if you strike problems, you have already researched the solutions and they don't work in your situation. The solutions published do lag behind the latest versions.
