Hi,
Welcome back!
You have to make a dual boot of Windows and Linux to start. After that you can make a data base in your D: Drive (Windows is normally in the C: Drive) and installing Linux will allow you to setup Linux to recognize your data in the D: Drive. There is where you would intall IL-2 and anything that you want Windows and/or Linux to operate. I believe that you can uninstall Windows as a last step and Linux will remain to handle IL-2 and other folders there in D: Drive. I don't know the details on these procedures because I have never done it myself. I would recommend keeping the Windows and Linux as a dual boot because Windows does not take much space and will allow you to run Windows only programs.
Be prepared with a System Image backup so if anything major goes wrong then you can use Restore options to call on your system image and regain everything like it was. Of course, backup IL-2 and mods independently just to be very secure in handling your experiment.
