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, you never know when will you be forced to use windows again
I think you can update your bios using linux there is a software for it
not necessarily, for example some laptop oems do not use the standard format and you cant just extract them from the exe so you have to use windows
~~most~~ all BIOS updates I made needed a bootable USB made from an image or had to be started from within the old BIOS setup.
For me you need to run a file on windows and convert it to a flash file you can put it on the bios
