i prefer EFI, MBR breaks easily and dual booting with it is horrible
I have litelarly never broken MBR boot while dual booting and I have done it for at least a decade now. Windows updates and everything, not once has MBR boot been broken for me.
at least i wasnt able to install windows in my old computer again because the windows bootloarder keeped overwriting grub, and grub overwrited the windows bootloader, and os-prober didnt worked at all
You install Windows first, then Linux. Or install Windows, make an image, repartition, install Linux, whatever, then bring back the Windows image, just not the EFI partition or the MBR.
Unless you have two EFI partitions on different disks, the same breakage happens with EFI. I've had Windows wipe out Grub on multiple occasions.
