Linux actually can mount Bitlocker drives, even automatically, but you need the key which is usually stored in the TPM which I’m pretty sure you need to boot with secure boot to get working in Linux.
If you still have Windows, it’s way easier to just set a secondary key and use that instead.
On a related note, I would actually recommend weighing the benefit of using LUKS because even with AES-256 hardware acceleration, it can significantly reduce your performance depending on your CPU.
LUKS does reduce performance, but I’d argue that modern midrange or better NVME drives already vastly outclass the needs for normal users. Unless the user is doing massive audio or video encoding or using it for a heavily used database, they probably won’t notice.
Source: Me, and I do the above activities and still think it’s fine.
