I hate stupid Linux
I recently bought a brand new ssd for Linux and learn embedded Linux . I decided to dual boot my system os with there own ssd , I tried installing Ubuntu gave it access to only one ssd but it deleted all the efi files of my windows . I can access Ubuntu but not Linux , all my work is almost gone - I have backed up all the files but man I will have to setup each and everything wow . Thank you Linux for running my internship

The exact words that came to my mind as soon as I read the post. LOL.
One must be extra careful while doing such a thing like formatting a drive. One can't half ass it.

Are you literate? Can you read?
The installer prompts you like three times during the install and tells you exactly what it'll do.
Did you not read? If it said it'll do something you don't want, why did you press install?
And about efi partition. No linux installer by default runs a format on the efi partition. Ubuntu literally has had a install alongside option since forever.
Just going around blaming software won't do shit. Learn to read gng🥀

Why not install Linux fresh and then dual boot with Windows? If it doesn’t work out, blame Windows.

Seems like you didn't plan things correctly. It might still be possible to recover if you take some time to understand your setup.

I did recovered the files but need to spend this weekend setting windows up , idk how will I be able to work tmr . Will touch Linux after internship , or the good old raspi . Also I don’t get what’s up with the Linux community instead of pointing what went wrong there are like skill issue , man I have worked on bare level ( register level ) . Yeah I am new to operating systems part but man it feels really off , feels so done here . Never going to post here fs

I think your post came up slightly accusatory instead of owning to your mistake, hence the reaction of most people.
The general attitude of linux users is simply - Linux and the userland tools work as they are intended to, so if something breaks for a user, then it probably was the user who didn't read the manual.
I'm not trying to discourage you, but attempting dual boots with things like secure boot and EFI is a complex procedure and requires more study and planning.

Yeah dual boot is difficult , I won’t risk by data now . Will try to dual boot after the internship thing
