You can't install iOS on a PC.

Sorry to inform you, but it's not possible to run iOS, which is an ARM operating system used for iPhones. If you were thinking of Mac OSX, then yes, it's possible.

If you are certain you can, why did you bother to ask other people for their opinion.

iOS is for mobile devices like iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches. Mac OS X is for Apple's Mac computers.

You can install any linux distribution you might want, no problem. Just get a live cd image, burn it, and follow the on-screen instructions. It's really easy. OSX can be a hassle to setup on something that is not a mac though, honestly there's no point in even trying if all you want is getting rid of windows. Linux ftw.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
