Does dual booting Windows compromises your Linux copy?
It seems like even after you remove the Windows drive(given that you're dual booting on different physical drives) the start up menu of it still says even if you can't acess it because you don't have the system itself. Does that means the Linux system is compromised even if encrypted or that will happen after you log in?

You need to always boot from the Linux drive or am I wrong

If you want to switch between operating systems, why don't you just buy more computers?

Restart it and install winsows first and whatever second. Windows second fucks the boot loader. If that’s even your problem, I can hardly comprehend the issue

if you invested that much Brussels globohomo beggar currency, surely you won't have to deal with obsolete hardware (and by extension installing Linux) for the rest of the decade if not longer.

Your money is already wasted. If you don't understand how computers fundamentally work you probably shouldn't pour such an amount in to buying one. Retard.

Install both on separate drives independently from one another. Then disable whatever HDD you don't need in bios.

Works much better than bugged grub that will inevitably glitch and boot nothing at all

This is due to the “secure boot” process, where the hardware is tied to you through transactions,
The os is tied to the hardware, and the apps are tied to the os (and now services).

They’re becoming phones.

That sounds like you installed linux while your windows drive was connected, adding the windows boot into grub

No. I first installed the Linux distribution, then connected another hard drive and installed Windows on it.

you can run linux inside windows for a while now. there's no point to dual booting different drives or partitions. this isnt virtual machines, im talking actual linux on windows.
Anonymous No.105812117 [Report] >>105812192
If there's only a drive where both are installed, sometimes Windows Update likes to reset the UEFI partition used to start the boot process of both OSes so you won't be able to boot into Linux until you regenerate the stubs on the Windows side or through a liveCD. Many people choose to install both OSes in separate drives and use the BIOS/UEFI control center to choose from which one to boot instead. That mostly works, if you use one of them much more than the other. If that's not your case, virtualization is your only hope. Use WSL, pray that VirtIO API someday finally allows real hardware acceleration on Windows guests (if Nvidea and AMD get their shit together) or buy another GPU for passthrough.

You probably can fix this easily, by just configuring your BIOS/UEFI to boot from the drive that Linux is installed on, then reset Grub's configuration. When you need to use Windows, change the boot order again.

I'm sorry if my post was not clear enough but my problem is that Windows could compromise the Linux system. As we know Microsoft wants to have complete control over their users so they probably have a way of doing it or maybe even an individual hacker itself could do it for personal reasons.

It stays because you haven't replaced the bootloader.

If the drive is plugged in, any elevated windows process can mount volumes on it and access it. If the linux volume is encrypted then windows cannot write anything meaningful to it. It can always destroy the data though

>he system date gets fucked
That's because Linux uses UTC and Windows uses the local time zone when writing the time to the system clock. It's annoying but there are tons of work arounds, both on Windows and on Linux so you'll have the correct time on both.

You can just set either os to use utc or local time

ahahah op illiterate dog, just swap drives and connect the one that belongs to the OS you are booting, are you too afraid of opening the case and just disconnect a sata cable or remove a simple ssd from a slot?

use the grub bootloader and you can select the windows boot manager from there. mine defaults to arch after the countdown.

when you dual boot unplug the linux drive. install windows first. then plug in the linux drive and unplug windows install linux. mount the windows drive and run os prober. then boot from the linux drive. Turn off secure boot or setup grub to work with it. linux should be the default os in the grub menu.
