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.

Addition to, it's basically a bootloader selector with some extra stuff
But then wouldn't the Microsoft "fix" still bork up grub?
Microsoft doesn't break grub, it does what is known as a "bootloader coup". rEFInd is an easy way to fix without having to google magical console incantation after booting in an installer liveusb and then chrooting into the broken system
You USB boot that rEFInd stick and choose " install rEFInd" and you're done.
The only catch is the rEFInd is kind of a maze to find the rEFInd .iso
It is here

Oh, that sounds awesome!
