When you say "Linux alongside Windows" I assume you mean dual boot. So you choose whether to boot the PC into one or the other. This has the merit of both running natively on the hardware. The disadvantage is that you can't instantly switch between them as you can using VMs.
There are "bare metal" hypervisors that allow multiple OS to run simultaneously without the host/guest arrangement of Virtualbox. These are widely used in data centres to provide multiple VMs on each physical PC. I looked at them briefly and for an ordinary user it's intimidating stuff. IMHO to be left well alone unless you have a genuine need.
