Always keep a backup of your boot partition, when dual booting with windows. I wouldn’t encourage a windows boot though

“Hello, my name is [redacted] and I’m a recovering dualboot user. It’s been…wow, yeah, I’m 27 days sober using only Linux on my machine…You know, it’s like they tell you, you think you’ll never stop. You think “How could I stop drinking this Win11 slop? My whole life has been like this!” Naw, man. When they tell you that you don’t miss the taste, that it will come to disgust you, looking back. They’re right. They were all right all alo-” insert meloncolic sobbing for 92 minutes
“Excuse me…sir? This is a Wendy’s.”
It’s funny because it’s true.
The best way to quit Windows is cold-turkey.
I have dual boot for long time already. Win 11 + Ubuntu. Although there was no any critical issues so far, except some mess up with internet connection on my ubuntu few times.
Windows is the virus
I’ve been dualbooting for over a year now. Made sure each system has its own separate drive. I’ve noticed that every time I had to reinstall Linux, my windows boot entry is gone and then I can’t access it no matter what I tried. Turned out installing Linux first then windows was my mistake. When installing windows while there is a Linux install, windows will see the EFI partition already there and just decides to share it, and doesn’t create its own.
I found that out by accident while I was in windows’ storage management. There was no efi partition. Took a whole day to find out how to create one on the same drive where windows is installed and removing the one it created on the Linux partition. It was so painful.
Bottomline, install windows first if you want to dualboot. After that, even if windows takes over the boot after an update, all it does is resets the boot sequence and makes it default to it. You’d just need to access the bios and reset the sequence to prioritize Linux. That’s it
Just stop dual booting. This is self-inflicted harm. Setup a VM or find a native workaround.
Why Windows?! WHY??
Because in their eyes nothing else compares. nothing else in necessary. so why keep it? And we all know windows needs that 35Gb diskspace really desperate (for reasons)
What the heck is the origin of this meme template? And am I the only one who thought this was Roger Stone?
It’s a spinnoff of the dancing prince Charles meme.
I’m glad I’ve always kept Windows on a separate disk.
On laptop?
I’m sure laptops with only 1 NVMe slot exist, but you can just not buy them
Also on laptop, yeah - I only ever had one laptop in my life (a Gemini Celeron for like 300 monies), but it has two drives (both sata iirc).
(I only need it to remote to my servers & maybe some web browsing.)I assume this isn’t usual?
Yes, most laptops only have one drive. One with two SSDs is very rare, especially in the low end market.
The only real time it wasn’t rare is during the SSD introduction. Laptops would have a small SSD(because expensive) and larger normal HDD.
For any modern laptops, it is very rare to find one with dual SSD. I guess for your case it is different, my old 2012 Thinkpad can take dual drive too but it is slow.
My windows ssd died about 2 weeks ago, but I was dual booting.
Took out the windows drive, slapped in a new one and I was no longer getting failed smart checks.
Happy to say that the windows drive that died was replaced with a new 990… that’ll be more storage for my Fedora Plasma system instead of getting windows 10 reinstalled. Win 11 was never a consideration but I did want to keep 10 around for as long as I could.
c’est la vie
I literally had the same thing happen to me last week. I’m done with windows. Hello ubuntu
I know this one weird trick to avoid this…
Imagine dual booting in 2025.
Variations of this meme get posted every week, but I’ve never experienced it, despite having had tens of grub updates murder-suicide the Windows boot loader and grub itself across five or six different machines. Thankfully, it’s pretty easy to rebuild a Windows boot partition, but the frequency that I’m hit with this problem is one of the major reasons I avoid using Linux. Eventually I’m going to have to switch, but that’s driven mainly by Windows getting worse rather than any of the pain points I’ve had when trying to switch full time in the past having been fixed.
Easily solved. Just run mkfs_ext4 on the windows partition, and mount it as an additional filesystem.
I’ll do you one better. Do you know what a windows update killed on my multi boot system? It killed the windows bootloader. I’m working on a permanent solution to fixing this bootloader fudgery.
Well, one permanent solution is to permanently ditch Windows

Luke, did I ever tell you about Reposter Tano?
Ah the repostiator is here
I find your lack of OC disturbing.
You can’t stop the reposts, anymore than you can stop the suns from setting.
So this is how OC dies - with thunderous applause. Reposts! Unlimited reposts!
The Reposter took everything from me. Ripped me from my source, murdered my original poster, used me as a karma coe, and then cast me aside. Abandoned me. Once, I had originality — now I have nothing.
I am no OC.
If you define yourself by your power to shitpost, your desire to karmawhore, to possess, then you have nothing.
The garbage’ll do! (No need to alter that one, I guess.)
You know, no matter how funny you are, I’ve always hated watching you be reposted.
A prequelmeme to be sure, but a reposted one!
General Thievous… You’re older than I expected
Your clones are not that impressive, you must be very ashamed.
Watch those wrist reposts
Are we blind, deploy the downvotes
Oh no the reposter
A repost to be sure and an unwelcome one
Guess I was wrong, there was no OC at all
Master, reposters
I don’t like reposts, they’re rough, coarse, irritating and they get everywhere
now THiS is reposting
You’ll try reposting that’s a bad trick
This is where the repost begins
We will watch your repost with no interest
I will deal with this repost slime myself
I don’t think the OC works
Henceforth, you shall be known as Ctrl+Vader!
The ability to post does not make you original
Only a sith deals in reposts
It’s over OP, I have the high karma
You were supposed to destroy the reposters not join them!
What about the repost attack on the OC?
My powers have doubled since the last time I saw this post OP
You are on this subreddit, but we don’t give you the rank of OC
Fool, I have been trained in repost identification arts by Count Dooku
I downvoted them all, they’re dead, every single one of them. And not just the reposts, but the shit posts and the OC too. They’re reposts, so I downvoted them like reposts. I hate them!
You ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagiarism the unwise, I though not, it’s not a story the mods would tell you. It’s a reddit legend. Darth plagiarism was a dark lord of reposting. So dumb and so unoriginal, he would use the sort by hot to find good posts and create reposts. He had such low knowledge of posting he couldn’t even keep the karma he loved from dying. The dark side of reposting is the path to many disabilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so weak, the only thing he was still afraid of loosing was his reposts, which eventually of course he didn’t. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice reposted his post. Ironic, he couldn’t keep others karma from dying, not even his own
You have failed me, OP.
The repost is strong with this one.
If one is to understand the great OC. One must create it and all of its aspects. Not just the dogmatic narrow low effort of the reposts.
The oppression of the repost will never return! Your plot to regain control of the Subreddit has failed! It’s over! You have lost!
How many other posts have I seen reposted by this Subreddit?!
You’ve already stolen the OC… This is just a repost!
Reposting is not the Jedi way.
You are no OC creator.
We got Reposts!
Good redditors, create OC
OP. You’re crazy reposting a meme is not OC.
Reposters, take 'em down!
They’ve sent in the Reposters!
Reposters. Dead ahead.
Just like the other post.
Your arrogance blinds you, Master Reposter.
You are weak and unwise, and I am very ashamed of you, Reposter.
Unfortunately for you, your karma will not be seen that way.
Set 'em up, and vote 'em down!
