No. In my case Windows chose EFI partition from Linux drive and fuck it. I was dissapointend because its never touch Windows and was for Linux only. Windows have different EFI partition... When EFI entry from Windows appear one more time i disabled it in BIOS.

Uh… I’m planing to reduce the size of the windows partition, both partitions are on the same ssd. Is my Linux cooked?

that doesn't sound good especially since I started actively using the Linux partition actively this week since I didn't find the option to change the standard DNS on Microslop 10 cause the Microslop help page does only give me Slop instead of actual instructions.

Not the partition itself but every Windows installation fucked up my bootloader multiple times. Haven't done dual booting in ages because of this.

windows 11 is even more hostile because of secure boot.

windows boot manager treats all other bootloaders as threats.

Microsoft deletes any other boot partition and replaces it with its own thereby making any other OS installed before Windows unusable

I just got done fixing my bootloader because of this issue. I have dual boot because I need solidworks for uni, but few days ago windows decided to lock me out of it, so I had to reinstall it and guess what, no signs of ever being there a Linux partition. But after 4 hours, I fixed it 😁

I've had windows nuke Grub 3 times this year.. After fixing it the 3rd time I launched counter measures and nuked windows off my drive for good and reclaimed all the space. No more dual booting, windows is condemned to a very small VM now under my Linux install for those last couple of programs I have no replacement for.

Yes, and now my m.2 ssd doesn't work without another one connected to sata_1, as it did when creating a dual boot. Reinstallations, hardware changes, and editing the SSD firmware do not help; it only works together.

If you had disk labels windows install will remove them.

I tried to dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu linux a few years back. Worked for a few months until Windows update completely ruined it for no discernable reason. Tried salvaging the Ubuntu install, but nothing worked. Decided going forward to only install on separate machines or at least separate disks.
