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 haven't booted Windows since February and at this point I'm afraid to.

If you haven't used Windows in that long you might as well just get rid of it.

Unfortunately not possible for me. I daily Arch (btw) and hadn't booted into Windows for months and months until my university professor came along and said "btw, we're gonna build GUIs using Microsoft Foundation Classes in Visual Studio now, and yes, you have to use Visual Studio on Windows in the exam". So nope, not uninstalling Windows.

Sounds like prime time for a virtual machine to me!
