I'm pretty sure that even with a Linux distribution, this would still have happened back then. It was a dual boot system and he deleted the other, non-booted windows version and at the time had local administrator access to his own device. Linux would not have stopped that either in my experience, 25 years ago. It's the fact it was dual boot that allowed it to happen to the inactive/non-working windows directory. You couldn't delete active versions of the Windows working directory even back then. (Ubuntu didn't even exist back in 1999, and red hat was version 6, debian was version 2, just for the timeline).
