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.

Microsoft intentionally broke dual boot for like 9 months. Windows is malware. Use two systems if one needs to be malware.
[edit: I love how you cowards downvote me despite never actually articulating a counterpoint🖕🖕]
Amen. If not this at least separate drives.
Corporate boot stack IS malware, if you have the money or skillz x hardware, open boot, kids. Just say no to corporate stacks where possible from boot to network one day!
[edit: love the no actual objection downvotes, you cowards are standing up for... something...]
You just come across as abrasive.
Even though i agree with you, I still think you're a bit of an ass.
Honestly I don’t see where he could be “abrasive” aside from the edits addressing those who are downvoting, which is well-deserved imo, and definitely not grounds for a downvote for information that you do agree with.
