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.

Make absolutely sure that you're not touching the ubuntu partition while getting rid of windows.
A backup of at least your home directory is recommended.
Then just remove the windows partition from ubuntu and install garuda to it as usual. You'll probably need to use grub-mkconfig after installation to make sure grub shows both ubuntu and garuda. The arch wiki has a good guide on that.
