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.

have you tried reinstalling the bootloader?
What's that?
It is a little program that starts an operating system. It's very small and basic. It has to be put in a special place on the drive.
Is that why I still have windows and Debian option to boot? So how do reinstall the bootloader?
It could also be entries stored in efi. Won't hurt to delete them from the list in bios if starting over.
I tried but they appear back

I think the arch wiki has a better article imo
