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.

Dual Boot vs Full Linux (lemmy.ml)

Hey everyone!

I got my desktop with dual boot (Kubuntu & W11) and wanted to know if I ever go fully Kubuntu, am I able to reinstall Windows again?

I don't have a disc, but my desktop came with it pre-installed. Is it tied to my Live account?

I’m running that and I don’t have any issues. I just have to go to bios instead of using a boot manager.

if your using grub you just need to install os-prober and re build your grub config and then you can boot windows from grub even on multiple drives
