That really only happens if you use the same drive for both installs, though

    You say that as if it’s an excuse. No program should ever overwrite an existing filesystem without explicit consent from the user.

    During my distro hopping phase of 2011, I tried out a distro called IP Fire. It wiped out my whole drive on boot.

    I still have that laptop, hoping one day I'll retrieve that data.

    That is a shitty design and for an outfit a big as Microsoft, I feel that it is intentional

    Apparently performs as router and firewall distro. I have no idea what possessed me to install that at the time over 10 years ago. But in any case, bad on me for blindly trusting an unknown source and bad on them for a dick shit design.

    But I know one thing is for sure, that name is pretty accurate. A lot of my own "IP" was torched.
