I mean if you were to install a linux distribution on this laptop, and you had enough space available it would probably work. But it is a terrible choice of laptop for what you want to do I think. Extremely limited storage (32GB) and low spec. Dual booting might work, but again you'll be attempting this with only 32GB of disk total. Split that in two and you have 2 OS's each with 16GB, which is *fine*. But really pushing things I think.
