So I have not booted my windows partition for fear that it would break my boot.

Is there a way to circumvent this before the bug hits my system yet?

Did windows ever fix that?

I am this close to just deleting the entire partition and adding it to my Linux partition as a data and or log drive instead

    I think you should ask in the Linux sub to maximize expert advice. It’s fine that you asked here, but there’s more expert opinions there.

      The Linux sub, while knowledgeable, would be a bad place to ask this question.

      All the OP would get is ridicule still having windows partition.

    Are you talking about the old-school issue where it wipes out your boot loader or the more recent issue where Windows hoses Linux for whatever “security” reason?

    So… Windows?

    I vaguely recall an extra worry a few min because. But my expert is that windows inevitably clobbers the boot loader eventually. So unless it is a laptop (where you are better off with a VM or wsl anyway) just give each os their own disc and use the BIOS for boot order.

    I switched to reFind boot manager and had to run a boot repair on the Windows partition with the Win11 USB installer. But it looks like everything is functioning now.
