Windows eats partitions

What about stop making bullshit posts? Windows have never did that to me, and there's no reason why would it touch any partition aside from its own and (if it exists) the Windows boot one.
That said, It MIGHT replace MBR boot record but I don't know if that's very likely these days. I remember upgrading from Windows 8 to 10 and Windows left my MBR alone, and I was able to boot to GRUB just fine.
- If you install Linux first and then Windows on the same drive, it will fuck up your bootloader.
  You can easily make Grub boot Windows, so just overwrite whatever fuckup Windows made, or install Windows first.
  It won't happen with a simple update, though, that's for sure. Maybe if you're upgrading Windows to a new major release.
- Noooo, not the heckin windorinos, s-stop bullying the multibillion dollar company g-guys ;-;
  
  Inventing FUD is a bad look regardless of if you're punching up or punching down. It's not about who the target is. It's that FUD is inherently dishonest, and being dishonest reflects poorly on your character.
  The Linux community should try to be better than that. We shouldn't stoop to Microsoft's old level.
  Admittedly, I haven't set up a dual booted Linux machine in about a decade, so I don't know if it's gotten dramatically worse.
  
  Someone having money isn't an excuse to not call out poor behavior against them. Making nonsensical posts that are not even accurate from an IT perspective helps no one. At best, it's just lies to get fake internet attention, at worst, it exposes a lack of understanding of the technology.
  
  Lol didn't read
