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.

I prefer having Windows safely tucked away on a virtual machine where it can't hurt anything.
You know that could be interpreted as a challenge.
I wouldn't count on it... From Microsoft's point of view, dual booting works as long as you install Windows first - which probably suits them just fine.
I personally haven't seen windows do that in many many years (last time I saw it happen was with windows XP, though I haven't ran dual-boot system with every windows since then, just some).
In my dual-Linux setup though, one keeps trying to get over the other in every minor update.
Doubt it
You have to install Windows first, then your Linux distro.
Doing that has solved all my problems with Windows being a douche
windows hasn't overwritten my uefi settings on major update in 3ish years
