    Some don’t play nice with dual booting. I’m honestly not familiar with the “why” but a couple of distros I looked at (one was one of the gaming forward ones, forget which) are outright like "don’t dual boot this and if you do don’t come crying to us.

    I’m guessing they struggle seeing other file system types but I have no idea.

      Oh that is news to me. I always assumed a partition was all it needed.

        I honestly don’t know what the issue is, but if the distro page is like “don’t fuckin do it” I just believe them 😂

          It could just be that windows is obnoxious and likes to do its best to break shit, and they don’t want to deal with helping people figure out how to repair it in limited dev time.
