It is also broken by Windows at every Windows update.

These days only the major ones. Like the H1/H2 updates. I agree there's zero excuse for it in the EFI boot world. But, Microsoft gotta Microsoft.

Often you can just find the boot again in the bios and choose it. And that should be assured if you don't put grub and windows in the same EFI partition.

Microsoft has always had his arrogant idea that the PC they're installed on belongs to them and will just delete anything else they find in the way.

Why use something fragile like Windows?

I have it as a dual boot option. But, it's not been booted since November. So I am assured I'll need to rerun grub when I do decide I need to boot it for something I cannot do in either Linux, or a Windows VM in linux (that's really a small number of things).

I get you, even i have to keep Windows for music and stuff. But hopefully ill be able to ditch it if My VST vendor supports Linux.

@znatgd @r00ty what about using VST in wine?

I appreciate it brother, but Native Access 2 on Linux refuses to run. I might have to look for other vendors who support WINE. If you have suggestions, do give some :)

The album I just released was made with mostly open-source tools, in particular LSP, Calf Studio Gear, and x42 were all made for Linux, and the two non-FOSS plugins (Graillon and Acon Digital Multiply) ran fine with yabridge.
