Windows can't fuck your bootloader if you never boot to Windows
-
Can you imagine how fluffing concerning it would be if it did though? Like what arbitrary code execution fluffery is this??
-
Maybe nest an install script in cpu microcode that executes at random power ons to install a minimal windows IoT for the sole reason of highjacking boot sequences?

- back everything up
- wipe the drive
- install linux on it
- put windows in a VM
- profit
Telemetry problem microsoft?

Their linux should still be there, right? They just need to fix their bootloader. (and wipe Windows.) Right?
-
Yeah. I dual boot on an old laptop just in case I happen to need windows for something and sometimes the windows partition puts itself at the top of the boot order, but my Debian partition is still there and I just have to put it back at the top.

I can't trust windows enough to install it on the same ssd where my Linux distro reside.
-
solution: make a linux distro that deletes the windows bootloader
-
Place Grub and Linux on one drive (physical) and Windows on another is what I did.
-
And then put the second drive containing windows in one of those rock tumblers
-

yeah windows sneeky snacking the bootloader was one of the reasons i quit dual booting a decade ago, have not missed windows a single moment since then
-
I don't doubt that it can happen but Windows has never messed with my GRUB even on major updates and even, IIRC, when "upgrading" from Windows 10 to 11.
