Not sure if this is a “me-issue” or if this is Microsoft being a dick.

Am I not supposed to dualboot with an external drive?

    Fun fact part 2: windows will (or used to) overwrite grub when installing updates, but not all updates that would make it predictable and less fun

        It did to me. I actually stopped using Arch because I thought an Arch update nuked my bootloader during an update. It wasn’t until a couple years later when I’d learned more that I realized it was more than likely windows “upgrading” to 11.

      I’ve found the only long-term, totally happy dual boot system is where you autoboot into Linux. And never boot into Windows. Every now and then I have to go back into my Win10 to do something (much rarer now, almost ready to reclaim some space). Boy, Windows hates having any signs you’ve been somewhere else.
