>Any really broad advice you can give me, particularly about dual-booting?
instead of dual booting (which is painful and crappy), and if you want to move to linux soon, I recommend installing Mint or whatever distro you want to use in a VM and try finding replacements for all the programs you currently need. install them and get comfy with the new system, learn the differences and stuff.
also, before installing linux, check the compatilibity of your system. make sure to test it from live USBs or whatever.
after getting used to the VM, make a list of every program you've installed and install the real thing, but only after either making a backup of everything you have in your system or getting a new SSD to install linux. if you get another SSD, make sure to remove the Windows drive to avoid overwriting WIndows.

ok, I see you've already done some of the stuff I suggested, and I guess I already answered some of your questions. cool.
