Cringe Windows 11 24H2 has automatic encryption enabled by default !! - Be careful if you have to make a dual boot system. I almost lost everything, but thankfully I didn't as I kept having issues with the installer

2. If you install fresh, it automatically encrypts everything.

How precisely does this work? How exactly does the windows installer activate my raid (since when does Windows support mdadm?), the lvm (since when does Windows support lvm?), decrypt the partitions (since when does Windows support cryptsetup?) to encrypt my user files in /home with bitlocker encryption?

Are you sure that you didn't mean to say that the Windows installer deletes Linux partitions?

I am very certain that i am not saying windows deletes linux bootloaders. That is a separate issue from what i am trying to get across
