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.

@BrandoCalrissian9229 @yogurtwrong I never tried dual boot, but as far as I know the best thing is to have two separated drives in order to avoid problems (which can happen).
yeah, that's always been the way I've understood it, but it seems like not many laptops these days have multiple drives
@BrandoCalrissian9229 that's definitely true. You could use an external ssd, if you have problems
I may end up doing that. Or one of those USB 3.0 Flash Drives.
@BrandoCalrissian9229 I think this solution is the one that could give you less headache, if none at all.
thanks!
