drbiWindows eats partitions
What’s actually happening here is Windows is setting its bootloader first in your EFI. Linux isn’t gone, you just have to press the “boot another drive” button and boot to it, or go into your EFI setup and switch the bootloader back to the Linux one.
Linuxes do the same thing when updating their bootloader.
Note for the Ackshually crowd: If you’re still booting MBR (which comes with the partition eating risk on dual boots) you have a system that is older than Windows 8 - 11+ years old, so eating the MBR is something you’ll have to deal with unconventionally, as all modern systems, OS, and hardware expect you to be using EFI.
SurpBut this is Lemmy Linux memes where they tell lies or use half truths about other OS’s and laugh about it rather than making actual clever memes! Get outta here with that sense!!
And where they ridicule Windows users because they’re “not good enough at computers to use Linux” yet they keep pointing out all the ways they themselves aren’t able to use Windows 🤔
That’s actually one of my biggest complaints about Linux users tbh. Sure, Linux is great. But half of the “windows doesn’t let you to [X]” complaints are really just “I couldn’t figure out how to do [X] and couldn’t be bothered to google it” in disguise.
Because windows functionality is almost always hidden behind layers of gui bullshit and is literally like staring at the sun.
Ubuntu be like
Except that Windows is constantly touted as being “easy to use” relative to Linux.
Because it is?
It is, but you can’t do advanced changed if you can’t be bothered to search for stuff.
Funnily enough it’s the less computer oriented people which I have put onto Linux, when all a user uses is web, office, and email it doesn’t matter what OS they’re using
