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.

Remove your Microsoft installation, done.
Yes but...
But what? This is Microsoft, they fucked it up so many times that it's either incompetence or sabotage, and knowing Microsoft, it's probably both.
This is the same company that invented millions to sabotage Linux through the legal system (hello sco), and the same company that in purpose left gaping security holes open as to not lose any money, causing China to hack the US government through said holes.
Then we decide that just that money isn't enough so we'll spy on you at every step of the way, we will force feed you ads, and we'll use you to train our shitty AI
Frack Microsoft, frack any and all of their software.
The only way to fix your computer is to uninstall all spyware like Windows
This reminds me I still have a win 10 partition on my drive. Ye! Extra space to reclaim!
They don’t want you to have dual boot. They want you to choose.
I'm going to choose a VM.
I’d almost bet money that in a year or two they’ll make it so that the latest version of windows cannot be installed in virtual machines
Glad I chose linux then.
Microsoft! You missed your last chance to stay on my computers with your os. Take care, so long and thanks for all the cons.
No surprises there, just the usual shit
