800TB of bandwidth per month?
If you’re not already, use it as your main system. Don’t dual boot. Stop using windows and mac. When you run into something you need to do, figure out how to do it on linux. It will be slow going at first, but after a few months you will pick up more productivity than you had before.
Another commenter recommended the fish shell, but I disagree because fish is not posix compliant. Almost all of the shell script examples that you will find assume posix compatibility and will usually have to be modified to run with fish. Once you get comfortable with a posix-compliant shell, then maybe consider fish or another “modern” shell.
On the topic of shells, read the bash manual. It’s long and informative. You don’t have to memorize it, but be aware of the different concepts there, and refer to it when you need to. It’s pretty horrible as a programming language, but it’s what glues most of Linux together.
First, make sure it’s enabled in your kernel. Check the value in /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq to see if it’s enabled. Then see if you can trigger it by writing to /proc/sysrq-trigger. Then try an external keyboard that has real SysRq key. If all of those work, you may have to ask Framework support if their keyboard supports generating that keystroke.
The “Magic SysRq key” may be helpful as a last resort.

I succeeded in doing this once long ago. Then while in the Linux vm I wiped the VM’s partition table, which wiped the physical disk partition table, including windows. Do not recommend.

Yes a back up is possible. Don’t back up partitions, back up the whole device. All 150+g at once.
Whenever you try to mount the device or the filesystems, make sure to mount it read-only so that no changes are written to the device.
Also, shrinking 84g of data into 32g is definitely not possible. Just changing the fdisk partition table doesn’t shrink or relocate the data. You need a filesystem-aware resizing tool to shrink the filesystem before shrinking the partition.
Hopefully you can just change the partition table back to the original values and get a clean fsck.
Agreed. Windows updates will very likely break your single-drive dual-boot at some point. So, use two different drives and use your bios/efi to choose which one to boot.

Edit 2: Framework 16 looks like it would meet your needs. It has two M.2 sockets for drives. https://frame.work/products/laptop16-diy-amd-7040
