    Apparently they’re going to move the system files to their own protected partition in 12, first good Microsoft change?

      But I loved having Windows deciding it owns my boot partition and formatting over my bootloader

        God this is the fucking worst. Why would they ever make this decision? aside from annoying dualbooters

          Microsoft cares about dual-booters about as much as Meta/Facebook care about people running anything other than FB on their phone.

        Even after the fact? On every dual boot I’ve ever had, I always install windows first and then whatever else.

          Yeah, installing Windows first is the only way to guarantee it won’t override your Linux bootloader
