To make this issue less of a pain, put the OS's on separate drives.
To make this issue go away, remove Windows entirely.
Yep. Windows behaves like a pissed drunk asshole in shared systems. Better kick that idiot out.
Kinda lol, but not purposely. I read an article on the last incident involving secure boot and can't say I blame Microsoft for it. It's not like it's them providing the bootloader or instructions either. -There's also the solution of simply keeping the drives separate and using BIOS instead.
Lmfao.
Agreed, but some people do actually need windows. I only have windows for quite literally one game. lol
Sure, but that's something I regret doing. Reverting back from ext4 and BTRFS drives without losing data was a pain. I did consider installing a flip switch for separate drives, but using BIOS to select the drive was simple enough after learning the lesson of deleting the wierd files that showed up on a tertiary drive from this method.
For a long time, the worst thing about having Linux was what windows would do while I was dual booted. Ditching windows completely years back has made my Linux life so much more pleasant
Or never update it.
Just don't delete any weird files that show up on a tertiary drive (will delete Windows disk). -They can be hidden and require privilege to remove.
