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.

thanks. if i never update windows (even if it tries to force me to), is it possible for it to break it ?
In my experience this only happens when (re)installing Windows, not updating. Can be easily fixed via live USB.
cool! thanks
I would never ever recommend not updating windows, but if it is maybe just a dedicated gaming OS and you don't use it for internet browsing or anything else, you might be able to get away with it.
i never use it. i only keep it around on the off chance i need to run some proprietry garbage for school
You might consider moving the installation into a VM, instead. From what it sounds like, this would be more convenient for you.
Under those conditions probably not.
