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.

it would but then ill have duplicate files taking up space
You can get 12 terabytes for 80 bucks. Disk is cheap.
Where?
EBay or Amazon, the seller is goharddrive. They're decommissioned server drives but other than run time they're practically new. Check both sites and their .com as well as the pricing isn't always in parity.
Make sure that's the seller if you get one though, they give a 5 year hardware warranty and will actually exist to honor it. Companies sometimes spin up a seller to unload their stuff then shut it down after enough is sold leaving the buyer with a useless guarantee.
