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.

That sounds brilliant. Have any resources to learn how to do something like this? I've never created custom boot entries before
I use systemd-boot so it was pretty easy, and it should be similar in GRUB:
What you want is that part:
systemd.unit=qemu-vms.target
which tells systemd which target to boot to. I launch my VMs with scripts so I have the qemu-vms.target and it depends on the VMs I want to autostart. A target is a set of services to run for a desired system state, the default usually being graphical or multi-user, but really it can be anything, and use whatever set of services you want: start network, don't start network, mount drives, don't mount drives, entirely up to you.https://man.archlinux.org/man/systemd.target.5.en
You can also see if there's a predefined rescue target that fits your need and just goes to a local console: https://man.archlinux.org/man/systemd.special.7.en
