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.

Can virt-manager boot windows boxes?

Absolutely, it's also made way easier with quickemu, allows you to spin up a properly configured Windows VM with pretty much no effort

Yeah, though there's some commandline shenanigans to get a tpm shim set up if you want it for windows 11
