Apparently they're going to move the system files to their own protected partition in 12, first good Microsoft change?

    But I loved having Windows deciding it owns my boot partition and formatting over my bootloader

    God this is the fucking worst. Why would they ever make this decision? aside from annoying dualbooters

    Microsoft cares about dual-booters about as much as Meta/Facebook care about people running anything other than FB on their phone.

    They're like a vampire: once you invite them in you are rendered powerless to them. Source: "The Lost Boys"

    Even after the fact? On every dual boot I've ever had, I always install windows first and then whatever else.

    Yeah, installing Windows first is the only way to guarantee it won't override your Linux bootloader

    I will say, I bought a new Lenovo a few months ago, and it was a pain in the ass to get grub to surface right off the bat. I still sometimes have to enter the boot menu to get my grub menu, so I know windows is doing something stupid, I just haven't taken the time to figure it out.
