Actually, it could be because I’m on Windows 10 and they stopped “Feature Updates” and all I get are security updates now. That could be why they stopped fucking with my boot order.
Same here, I was wondering why my days were so (relatively) calm as of late…
So, long story ahead…
Couple weeks ago Windows screwed me over by converting a disk to dynamic disk (whatever that means) when trying to extend a partition, making it impossible to boot to Linux since whatever format is used for dynamic disks is proprietary, also, it just plain removed my GRUB from existence.
Then when trying to roll that back with obscure methods (since Microsoft claims in all their documentation and forums that the only way to roll back to basic disk is by wiping and reformatting) I ended up with two conflicting partition tables!
Long story short(er) I painfully backed up everything, took my chance on the MBR table since it looked the least scary of the two (luckily I was right), and reinstalled GRUB from a bootable USB.
I lost a Saturday on that shit and learned to never touch a single drive from Windows ever again.
PS: Always back up your data regularly, because fuck me Windows makes existing almost intolerable.
I think its supposed to be: !community@instance
I used WSL2 for about a year between distro hops.
I agree it’s mostly the more peaceful way if you can’t afford to just remove Windows altogether.
Still love me some freshly installed Linux tho :(
