Usually virtualization (VMWare, etc.) is too slow to use. I would
recommend dual boot.
If it's a not a Mac then friendly Linux distros (Ubuntu, Debain,
CentOS, Fedora,...) will install the dual boot very smoothly. The
hardest part is making the decision on what part of the hard drive to
allocate to Linux.

Due to some gems not working for windows im considering either
installing cygwin or even going as far as installing linux (linux isnt
the evil here, its the partioning and a whole sunday spent figuring out

I'd suggest using virtualization (VMWare, etc.) to install a Linux distro.
Much simpler than setting up dual-boot, and much more versatile than
cygwin (you can snapshot and revert VMs, clone them, etc.)
FWIW,
