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'm in the same spot. Ended up just buying a cheap SSD and dual booting with windows 10. It's definitely not as convenient as it could be, but it works perfectly.
Yeah my main PC is dual-booted Linux mint and Windows 10, I used Windows more over time both because gaming is slightly easier but also the way my dad set it up there were time controls on Linux and not on windows so as soon as I figured out or was given the windows password it all went downhill.
I want to get back into using Linux more but I'm worried it won't be until after college
