Telemetry problem microsoft?
Their linux should still be there, right? They just need to fix their bootloader. (and wipe Windows.) Right?
replies:
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.
replies:
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.
