My GF recently said I can install Linux on her laptop. Then I saw Windows broke dual boot systems.
Is it safe to do a dual boot if she already has the update that broke dual booting?
Should I just figure out how to install Windows in a VM for her?
Appreciate any insight y’all can offer
no.
Today on “Was this caused by stupidity or malice”…
Microsoft said earlier this month it would apply “a Secure Boot Advanced Targeting (SBAT) update to block vulnerable Linux boot loaders that could have an impact on Windows security,”
(emphasis mine)
I would advice to just move to Linux all together. No need for dual boot ;)… It took me way too long to do that.
this reads like you don’t make backups or don’t have a restore strategy. if the system is important enough that you worry about updates breaking it, you should make backups from time to time and have a bootable restore system on a removable medium.
