im currently dual booting endevouros with windows, and i have a lot of free/unpartitioned space on my drive. can i install another linux distro alongside endevour and windows? i have a separate home partition as well. do i only keep one linux/grub boot partition? im not too scared of nuking everything but id obv rather not. thanks!

    thanks. if i never update windows (even if it tries to force me to), is it possible for it to break it ?

      In my experience this only happens when (re)installing Windows, not updating. Can be easily fixed via live USB.

      I would never ever recommend not updating windows, but if it is maybe just a dedicated gaming OS and you don’t use it for internet browsing or anything else, you might be able to get away with it.

          You might consider moving the installation into a VM, instead. From what it sounds like, this would be more convenient for you.
