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.

I would consider just putting windows in a virtual machine, depending on your use needs. That’s been my solution to stop windows messing up my boot. I actually just have it on an external ssd.
Works well since I don’t play pc games and don’t need great pc power for what I do. 16gb of ram so plenty to share with the VM; for my use performance is great. I rarely need windows anyway.
