Which Linux operating system makes the most sense next to Windows 10 on the same hard drive?

I also read that for example Kali Linux can destroy the OS by updates, why does that fall out, right? And no, I do NOT intend to use Kali Linux, I know that it is not faithful to beginners and is for penetration testing etc. And is a Debian based distribution.

Is it useful to have Linux next to Windows? Because on the SSD some important data are stored (on Windows). Important means: documents from the school, pictures / videos that lead back to the year 2016/17 and the workspaces of the IDE's and games like Minecraft (for Java) or RTC Wolfenstein.

If it could work without risk, which would make the most sense and why? And yes, I know that Lubuntu should be pretty fast. Lol

I use linux mint. In addition to windows

Mint is in the list😉😆😁

I recommend installing Oracle Virtualbox on Windows 10 first, then creating a virtual machine and then installing Linux Mint on it. So Windows 10 remains untouched. In addition, Linux Mint is one of the most used distros.

Always ran with me without problems. Often on the same hard disk. Meanwhile, I use different, so that the Ubuntu can also expand properly.

Do I have to make such changes again because of the CPU in the UEFI / BIOS?

I do not know exactly what, but I have ever used a VB and then Windows did not start when restarting. First came such a funny error message…

Oh sorry I overread my mistake how can I deal with Linux I'm too stupid to read myself

Haha all right🙈😁

Haha but I prefer Mint ubuntu

No, you do not have to. Simply create the virtual machine with Virtualbox. Since Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, you choose from Linux, then Ubuntu 64bit, and leave the wizard's preferences as they are. When the virtual machine is created, just load the Linux Mint ISO in there. Then the virtual machine is booted and you can start the installation of Linux Mint. The disk on the virtual machine is nothing more than an image file.

When you remove the created virtual machine, the virtual disk and Linux Mint are completely gone.

P.S. If you have Oracle Virtualbox installed you have to install the extension pack. This also includes a virtual network bridge so that you can exchange data between Windows 10 and the virtual machine.

Does it really make sense, 2 operating systems? 🤔 So if it is so "easy", it's cool🤔
