There's no single answer to this. Some people dual-boot and slowly learn to use Linux until they feel comfortable enough with it to switch entirely. Some run Linux in a virtual machine on top of Windows. Some use a separate computer. And some just format their hard dirve and take the plunge right away.

Why didn't Windows NT replace DOS. as originally planned?
Windows NT (New Technology) was released as a 32-bit operating system in 1993 with the goal of replacing the aging MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System) as the primary operating system for personal computers. However, it did not fully replace DOS for several reasons: Compatibility: Windows NT was not fully compatible with older software and hardware that was designed for MS-DOS, making it difficult for businesses and individuals to switch. Market share: MS-DOS had a significant market share and was widely used, making it difficult for Microsoft to convince users to switch to the new system. Cost: Windows NT was more expensive than MS-DOS, which was a barrier for many individuals and businesses. Performance: Windows NT was designed as a more secure and robust operating system, but it was also slower and required more resources than MS-DOS. As a result, MS-DOS remained in use for several years after the release of Windows NT, and Windows NT evolved into what is now known as Windows 10, which is the current version of the Windows operating system.
