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.
Some people in the community do get it. It’s just that the “I got bullied in high school so now I like to yell at people in webforums” people are so very loud.
Oh for sure, didn’t mean to come off like I was generalizing the whole community (of which I’m a part of)
It’s just that, even if it’s a small minority of the community, they’re still yelling and screaming in the yard where people sitting on fences are getting scared off, from my perspective that is.
Nobody wants to be around assholes
