The update wasn’t supposed to reach dual-boot PCs.

    It’s like I get daily reminders to finish moving files off my laptop, so I can wipe Windows and install Linux.

    I recently tried to convert a 2-yo Lenovo running Windows-11 to dual-boot. Gave up after three days and just went with Ubuntu. It shouldn’t be this hard.

    I recently installed Linux on some old PCs. They had Windows 10 and wouldn’t install 11. Glad I didn’t go for dual boot!

    I was wondering last night where Ubuntu was on my gf’s living room gaming rig. I can’t recall uninstalling it, but the boot menu was only listing Windows. Will have to live boot Ubuntu and have a look at Gparted to see if the ext4 partition is still there.

      Been using Linux since the early 2000’s and I’ve dual booted a few times, but mostly had Linux as my main os for this time. This has happened so many times to me, the last time like 4 years ago, I just will live without the software that doesn’t work in wine…

      How insane is it that there is no practical way to work with ext4 from within windows.

      It’s an open source file system. It’s decades overdue that windows starts acknowledging other file systems exist.

        Right? Windows doesn’t even show an “unknown” partition/file system, but I’m sure it’s still there.
