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.

Windows will actively attempt to destroy your Linux partition at every opportunity, you can dual boot but it won't be a fun experience.
I dual boot Fedora with secure boot enabled for half a year already on my notebook with exactly 0 problems. Did few Windows updates already.
I'll try disabling the windows boot like someone said, and read the partition from linux, is enough to avoid the possibility.
If you're willing to go that far at that point it's probrally easier (and more stable) to just completely overwrite your windows partitions.
Look i appreciate the help but you didn't read the rest of the thread, i have a reason to keep it, it non negotiable.
I'll probrally be one of the few people here to say this but tbh if you need Windows then don't feel pressured to use Linux. Its not worth (IMO) the stability loss to dualboot, feel free to keep using Windows.
It's about the files, not the OS
