I think Windows intentionally breaks GRUB dual boot, if you see your computer saying “repairing Windows” it’s a good chance that it’s breaking your dual boot setup
They definitely succeed because it made me stop using Linux for a long time, I didn’t have time to fix it and didn’t know how. It happened multiple times.
I don’t think it does that if you have Linux on a completely separate drive instead of just a separate partition, but I’m not sure. In any case the solution is just to reinstall grub. Grab a live usb of some linux distro, chroot into your linux install, then grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/path/to/efi/dir --bootloader-id=GRUB (on uefi, if on bios do whatever the command is for bios, and replace the target architecture with whatever your architecture is, etc)
Microsoft is off the rails. Time to mainstream Linux for more reasons than Windows 11.
💯 Fuck it, I’m buying my new SSD today to dual boot.

Now I exclusively use Linux out of spite

I only partially understand what all this means… Guess I gotta learn today!
