From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Most exhaustive write-up on dual-booting Fedora Atomic and Windows 10 that I've found.
FWIW, I've done it and my system works as you'd expect.
Awesome, that is exactly the type of first hand experience and description I was looking for! Thanks!
Is there anything to be expected when updating the system to a new version? Maybe you haven't done that yet...
It has been my pleasure 😊.
The write-up found above ensures that the two systems don't share any space within the same drive. Therefore, there's nothing to worry about.
For example, I've upgraded Fedora from 39 to 40 about two months ago without any troubles. Heck, I'm on Bluefin's
:latest. So, the update to 40 happened automatically in the background without notifying me. So, with the very next reboot I suddenly found myself on 40 😅. I probably wouldn't even have noticed any difference were it not that some GNOME extensions didn't work right away. Otherwise, it was a perfectly smooth update.Great to hear, thanks again!
