Linux@lemmy.ml•How to get windows to not do disk checking or ruin my bootloader when i add a linux partition on the same disk?
2·3 months agoI’ve done it with over a dozen computers by different manufacturers: primarily laptops: Lenovo, HP, toshiba, and I have yet to run into any issue.
Windows assumes there is only ever going to be one efi, so it totally ignores the second partition. Linux has you mount the efi partition so you can choose it over the windows one.
What problems have you had with it? There is lots of advice out there on the Internet saying this is the best setup, not just me.

1·3 months agoA second drive is optimal, but you should still have a second efi partition on the second drive.

3·3 months agoWhereas I agree that it’s not guaranteed to work, I have set up more then a dozen systems this way and have never had it be an issue.

11·3 months agoIf using efi (instead of bios), set up a second efi boot partition. Use one efi for windows and the second for Linux. It’s “non standard” but the efi spec does not explicitly forbid you having multiple partitions, and it will keep windows from disabling anything on the Linux boot partition.




There are literally dozens of us!!!
In all seriousness tho, I like the fact that Eddie supports amnezia wireguard.
