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.
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
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!
I have windows and linux on different drives and windows killed my bootloader this week anyway lol
This same thing happened to me a few years ago so I deleted windows and never looked back
And I have a laptop with no additional ssd slot...
You have another slot most likely, it's just populated by the Wifi card, If you're willing to sacrifice that and use one of those tiny USB wifi adapters you can use that as your second slot with a little adapter to convert between E key to M key. Also have to use a 2230 SSD since the longer ones won't fit in the spot.
Oh man thanks for the cool tip. Could be useful when switching ssds
I did something similar, except I don’t have a second drive with windows.
I had this setup but during a reinstall/update Windows still destroyed Grub. You have been warned!
