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've been a fan of the dual boot option (sometimes separate hard drives)
Boot PC. Press F8. Select Windows drive and boot to windows 10 for gaming.
Most of time it defaults to Linux and that's where i live the other 97% of the time
I have the same setup on my laptop. There's always something easier on Windows whether I like it or not and it's good to have the option.
Never had an issue with them coexisting.
