Sorry if this is dumb, but does booting to Linux overwrite the current operating system, or can you just choose to boot to one or the other?

Dual booting is an option
If you go with Ubuntu (best starting distro in my opinion) you will be able to install Linux alongside windows but there is a need for repartioning the drive.

You can do what’s called “dual boot” where both (or even more than 2) OSes are available and you pick which to use at boot.

This is a trap. I dual booted and just never went back to windows. Wasted disk space for years
