minus-squaretoor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up26·1 month agoYeah, I tried dual booting for a very short time ~20 years ago (oh man…) Every time Windows would obliterate my grub config/mbr and I’d have to dig up instructions to reconfigure grub from live cd. Never again.
minus-squarequpada@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up18·1 month agoBack in those (pre-UEFI) days it was quite easy to add GRUB to the Windows boot manager instead. You’d wind up with a menu entry that Windows would usually leave alone, unlike its aggressive reinstallation overwriting GRUB. Once UEFI came along, it became easier to give each OS an entire disk with no connections between them, and use the BIOS as the boot menu. Or, y’know, just give Windows the flick and only run Linux 😉
