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.

You know, I'm in a constant battle with bootloaders. I've both deleted grub multiple times and windows boot manager by accident and by believing "I could fix it by re-generating it"... More like re-installing.
I've fixed the Windows bootloader before, but every result you find says something slightly different, feels like no one quite knows how to do it.

Aren't we all on the same boat here? Thanks for the link btw! That's a new one I hadn't seen before.
Virtualization...
Yeah, yeah, I get the point. However, how else am I supposed to learn what not to do huh? "Do not delete your boot partition" is not obvious enough, I need consecuences for my stupidity.
