What about stop making bullshit posts? Windows have never did that to me, and there's no reason why would it touch any partition aside from its own and (if it exists) the Windows boot one.
That said, It MIGHT replace MBR boot record but I don't know if that's very likely these days. I remember upgrading from Windows 8 to 10 and Windows left my MBR alone, and I was able to boot to GRUB just fine.
If you install Linux first and then Windows on the same drive, it will fuck up your bootloader.
You can easily make Grub boot Windows, so just overwrite whatever fuckup Windows made, or install Windows first.
It won't happen with a simple update, though, that's for sure. Maybe if you're upgrading Windows to a new major release.
Noooo, not the heckin windorinos, s-stop bullying the multibillion dollar company g-guys ;-;
Inventing FUD is a bad look regardless of if you're punching up or punching down. It's not about who the target is. It's that FUD is inherently dishonest, and being dishonest reflects poorly on your character.
The Linux community should try to be better than that. We shouldn't stoop to Microsoft's old level.
Admittedly, I haven't set up a dual booted Linux machine in about a decade, so I don't know if it's gotten dramatically worse.
Someone having money isn't an excuse to not call out poor behavior against them. Making nonsensical posts that are not even accurate from an IT perspective helps no one. At best, it's just lies to get fake internet attention, at worst, it exposes a lack of understanding of the technology.
Lol didn't read
Not everyone here is a Lemmy user. I just don't like people making idiotic comments. There's plenty do criticize about Windows without having to make stuff up due to lack of IT knowledge. If you claim calling out someone's incorrect IT knowledge as a defending Windows, that's just you being an idiot and knowing nothing of IT.
It's amazing, bro that you expose your woefully inadequate knowledge. If you want to troll, don't pretend to be anything else.
It doesn't though. At best, it messes with the boot record (which has been mentioned) which isn't deleting a partition. Windows can't delete a partition it doesn't actually use.
You can continue your inability to understand the actual details of what you're talking about. I'm not defending Windows. I'm defending telling the truth about PCs. You can continue your fanboyism and inexperience with operating systems and hard drives.
Are your comprehension skills that of a four year old?
Windows users are lolcows bro, just farm them for lulz.
Did we just collectively travel 15 years back in time?
Calling someone out on their bullshit can do that to a person.
