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.

Dualboot. Use windows only with the things that need windows (ie CADs) and linux for everything else.
Downside of dualbooting is you have to manage essentially 2 computers.
Thats true, but it is not that different from running windows in a VM or a separate machine like a laptop. If you only use windows for little stuff, it does not require that much maintenance. Especially W10 since it stopped getting feature drops.
