I am interested in installing a de-googled android on my phone, but I would like to try it out a little bit first. Is there some way to emulate a phone on my PC, or is there anything like dual booting on phones?

    If your bootloader is unlocked, you can fastboot boot an image and that will only run in memory the one time, however, it will share a data partition (apps, preferences, etc) so it might not behave as well as a native install would have.

      I’ve never really messed around with my phone beyond installing things from an alternate app store, so I doubt it is. I’ll look into that, thanks
