Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should: Install Linux on NTFS – on the same partition as Windows
www.theregister.comAs alert folks of a cross-platform inclination will have noticed, Paragon’s NTFS driver was accepted into the Linux kernel, and was released as part of 5.15. This has had a consequence they probably didn’t consider, though: you can now boot Linux from an NTFS partition.
But wait, there’s more. Since a Linux installation doesn’t use any of the same file or folder names in the root directory, you can even install them into the same partition.
Yes, you probably really don’t want to do this. I keep my OS’s on separate drives altogether, and rather share common data partitions where needed.

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.
