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 want to have a dual-boot laptop where half is Windows and half is Debian. If i encrypt Debian during installation, will it break Windows? I just want to be safe. Thanks in advance

[edit: love the no actual objection downvotes, you cowards are standing up for... something..

You just come across as abrasive.

Even though i agree with you, I still think you're a bit of an ass.

Honestly I don’t see where he could be “abrasive” aside from the edits addressing those who are downvoting, which is well-deserved imo, and definitely not grounds for a downvote for information that you do agree with.
