They also released an update that broke dual boot Linux installations. Still feeling that one

Oh right! Forgot about that one! FOUR major screw ups.

[–] Teils13@lemmy.eco.br 9 points 1 month ago

i think that one is not a screw up...

They've done that periodically for years.

I don't dual boot anymore but when I did I kept each installation on a separate hard drive for that reason.

In this case it didn't matter how it's installed

If windows is on a separate drive it's hard for it to actually ruin the Linux install. The fix was to use a USB boot drive to launch Linux and fix the boot manager.
