Every time Windows updates itself, my Linux disappears. Actually, it’s just hidden, only the boot menu was overwritten. You need a computer maintenance technician to make a new boot menu. I use a USB stick with a live Linux with automatic boot repair tools.
Recently, Windows has become resistant to Boot Repair Disk. Now I have to open computer firmware by tapping “Esc” right after power-up, then select “Boot options”, then “Linux”.
EU must ban all US-made smart products for its own safety. All closed-source software and electronics that can be used for strategic manipulation and sabotage – Google, Apple, Amazon, all of it.
We have functional, clunky open-source software that could easily be fitted for any purpose with the money we waste propping up foreign monopolies sabotaging us. Europe has taken a huge risk. I suspect bribery.
Oh, that makes more sense.
Still, from my tests with Mint, it looks like it probes other disks and partitions when updating grub, and reinstalls it correctly. But I suppose there are cases where the probe could fail and you’d have to boot from the grub prompt.
yeah it’s more of a hypothetical worry, i guess. since every system seems to handle boot a bit differently (unfortunately), it’s difficult to get a definite answer to that.
I personally love the UEFI boot system, but it’s not typically directly used. Instead, some complicated grub setup is often in place. That makes it a bit of a complicated question.
