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.

So you're suggesting running a kneecapped system over USB rather than reinstalling grub twice a year?
reinstalling grub is not so easy though, you need to know what you're doing to fix this. It's not an easy fix for a new user, because you will be running grub from a third party installation, not your normal Mint.
maybe the easiest solution for these people is just running Linux Mint. And get fully rid of Windows. No grub issues :) And lets face it. this is anyway the best solution long term.
