Title. I dual-boot Windows and Linux. I always saw people making “WINDOWS DELETED MY LINUX BOOTLOADER OMGOMG” posts and it had never happened to me. Now, the opposite has happened. I switched from EndeavourOS to OpenSUSE and now my windows install is no longer selectable on boot.
I keep Windows in a separate drive entirely, so instead of using grub, I use the EFI’s boot-select menu thingamafuck (look I don’t know jargon okay?) to choose Windows when I need it.
Well today it’s not there. Only the Linux entries show up. The Windows partition itself seems to be in good order, like, I can access it from within Linux no problem.
But yeah it doesn’t show up on my EFI selector thingie. I imagine I could get the EFI Shell going, but I have no idea how to use THAT either.
I keep saying this, but Linux users are probably the biggest obstacle standing in the way of Linux adoption.
One day those Linux people will learn that you’ll catch more flies with honey than you will with vinegar
🤷🏻♂️
Based on my nearly 30 years experience of using Linux (started with veeery early versions of Slackware) and interacting with Linux users on USENET, forums etc., I doubt it.
