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.

The dual boot is simply there because I still on occasion need to use windows-only software. Otherwise, everything'll be on Fedora. All I need to do is migrate some of my projects

And WINE and friends definitely won’t cut the mustard for you? Might be worth checking out, at least.
