I currently have 2 PCs which dual-boot from single drive:
- W10+Garuda on UEFI
- W10+Pop OS on previously CSM, now migrated to UEFI
I have used dual boot for 2 years and Windows never decided to play the boss and override Linux. In fact, some Linux distros overwrote existing bootloader and put their own in my experience. I didn’t have many problems and if I did, they were easy to fix. I even play Steam games from NTFS on both PCs. On the contrary, I heard many horror stories, dual booting is avoided and not recommended to newcomers by most users. How is your experience with dual booting Linux and Windows? Did Windows ever deleted Linux bootloader on updates for you?
I’ll never do it again. It’s proven that eventually it will break one day and it’s not worth the hassle. I would rather physically switch drives than do a legit dual boot.
