I'm thinking of dualbooting Windows 10 and Ubuntu in different partitions of the same SSD. If codes like rm -rf somehow happens in the Ubuntu partition, does this affect Windows, or does it leave other partitions alone? And if it DOES affect the Windows partition, how can I prevent this from happening?

It doesn't affect the windows partition, because you're running it from your Ubuntu machine.
Picture it like this
/dev/sda1 ntfs-bootfile
/dev/sda2 ntfs-win
/dev/sda5 ext4-root --> (YOUR LOCATION NOW)
/dev/sda6 ext4-swap
If you run rm -rf within your location, it would affect sda5 partition—in which your Ubuntu system reside. So it only affect Ubuntu.
Supposing you have grub boot loader to load the 2 OS (Ubuntu and Windows), if you accidentally remove GRUB file aswell, Windows would not be able to boot, but the data inside will remain intact.

The OP asks about "codes likerm -rf." To me, this means the various destructive commands that can be done on a Linux system. Some of these will cause problems on Windows. For examplecat /dev/zero > /dev/sdawill write zeroes to all of /dev/sda, thus deleting all data on that drive and possibly the entire computer. Of course, such things are less likely in practice but they need to be acknowledged for a complete answer. If truly secure isolation is needed to prevent Linux from causing problems on Windows (or visa-versa), the only sufficient method is a virtual machine of some sort.
