    And then Windows yoinks your bootloader back and your Linux boot option poofs…

    More of a Windows issue than anything, but still annoying af.

      Ideally, you should install Linux on a separate physical drive, then this never happens.

      But yes, not applicable for everyone. In any case, this can be trivially fixed if you went through this once before.

        I had it on a separate drive and this happened to me some how. Perhaps it was my own fuck up, it was a while ago.

        Just resulted in me nuking Windows anyhow, and it’s been fine ever since 🤷‍♀️

      It is annoying. You can avoid by installing Linux on a different hard drive. Obviously not always an optiion but maybe.
