    I fixed this by deleting Windows.

    [–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

    Yeah. This crap was the last straw for me to stop dual booting.

    [–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

    I finally solved this problem in my desktop by having two separate M2 drives, one for Windows and one for Linux. Boot & grub live on the Linux drive and Windows never touches it.

    With Linux and Windows on one drive, this is super annoying.

    [–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

    That's what I did. And after going to all the trouble, I've booted into Windows 11 twice in 3 months.

    My wife had a kid about a year ago now.. before that I had been dual booting win10 on one drive.. kubuntu on the other..

    I kept win10 for rocket league... When the kiddo popped out. I didn't have time to play... Anything at all actually.

    So I just turned the win10 drive into a storage drive and I don't miss win10 or rocket league at all.

    Any games I want to play I can install via steam and proton and I'm good.

    Not that I get to play anything with an 11 month old. Haha

    Friends don't let friends play Rocket League.

    Well, ranked, anyway. Only game in 40+ years of gaming that I threw a controller over. Even Ninja Gaiden on NES couldn't do that to me. lol

    [–] 7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago

    Yeah ranked was bull shit.

    Some of my best gaming times was being drunk and playing with friends.

    But man.. the community became so toxic.. and once it went free to play.. it went to complete shit.

    I'm not going to spend $20 on a goal explosion.

    Fuck all that noise.

    Ha, I recently upgraded to an nvme drive from SATA, cloned the drive and then realised I need to move the windows partition all the way to the end to let me expand the Linux partition. Which broke windows. After about 2-3 hours of troubleshooting it was working again. It was around then I realised I hadn't booted into windows in 2 years!

    [–] Corr@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    I have windows and linux on different drives and windows killed my bootloader this week anyway lol

    [–] air_filter@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

    This same thing happened to me a few years ago so I deleted windows and never looked back

    [–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    As a disabled dude: lmfao this is great

    [–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Dang.
    Hope new medical advancements will keep making your life increasingly easier, and perhaps one day even restore your boot partition wheel.

    Give us the source OP

    I had the opposite once, years ago: I don't know the cause anymore, but somehow Windows disappeared from my grub.

    By the time I had finally secured all my data with the intent to make that absence permanent, it did reappear (again, no idea why), but I was committed. Steamrolled the entire drive with a new Ubuntu install and haven't used Windows privately since.

    I did need to use tools that don't run on Linux (even with wine - believe me, I tried) for uni and used a windows VM, my work laptop is Windows because I need the same tools and get no say in it anyway, but haven't had a direct Windows install on my system since 2022.

    My private OS of choice is by now Nobara, though I also intend to use an obsolete SSD to try more distros with.

    Can relate. A lot of my college work required software that only wanted to run on windows

    [–] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

    Shame is, I kinda like the tool (Microsoft Power BI) for its graphical interface and capabilities. Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of complaints too, and its promises of empowering users to find their own insights come with a lot of conditions. But I've also not found any comparable FOSS alternatives.

    [–] vinyl@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

    I entirely avoided this issue ever since I started to mess with Linux with separate drives, and then brought in a litany of other issues by me whenever I wanted to wipe and reinstall windows or Linux.

    [–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    This happened to me after partizioning a fucking external drive in the windows partition manager. I jist nuked the windows install and now use wine or a VM for my windows needs

    [–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

    Maybe you should put some distance between yourself and Buckingham Palace next time you install Linux.

    This meme format has a lot of potential

    Why is King Charles stilling my shit?!?!?

    [–] Michal@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago

    I'm sure the British museum will take a good care of it.

    This britens my day way more than it should.
