Update and Shutdown -> go and make tea -> Linux lock screen -> 😐

Windows really dosn't want to be on my system.

    Well, that's a first. The usual way is for Windows to break the Linux install every time it does anything.

    Somehow I learned how to install my systems without windows doing that.

    I’m guessing you have different drives, instead of using partitions. Windows only breaks bootloaders when it’s sharing a drive.

    Nope.

    1. Install windows on clean disk
    2. Install Linux with custom partitions
      Add 3 new partitions (/boot, /, swap)
    3. Enable os-prober for grub
    4. Set grub as boot in BIOS

    Never had problem with windows nuking the bootloader. It never knows it exists.

    Well, it is at least in part how many linux distros configure Grub, it can be set up to boot the last selected OS, which I think should be the default... I changed it on all of my dual boot systems, though I haven't been using Windows all that much lately, so it hasn't been all that big of a deal for me.

    I just wish that Windows hadn't changed the default update config to restart no matter which option is selected, since it makes that situation soooo much more annoying.
