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.

But will I be able to eventually remove OS #1 and switch to the one installed afterwards?
Yes, you just boot a live USB and use GParted to delete what you don't want anymore and grow the rest.
Based. Btrfs it is. Sounds like a really cool filesystem.
If you're using BTRFS and know how to/are prepared to learn, just create separate sub volumes instead of multiple partitions. Means that you don't need to decide how to split up space between different partitions and they are easy to delete without a live USB.
