Well, that's a first. The usual way is for Windows to break the Linux install every time it does anything.

Somehow I learned how to install my systems without windows doing that.

I’m guessing you have different drives, instead of using partitions. Windows only breaks bootloaders when it’s sharing a drive.

[–] Ludrol@szmer.info 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nope.

  1. Install windows on clean disk
  2. Install Linux with custom partitions
    Add 3 new partitions (/boot, /, swap)
  3. Enable os-prober for grub
  4. Set grub as boot in BIOS

Never had problem with windows nuking the bootloader. It never knows it exists.

  1. Windows update intentionally bricks GRUB.
  2. Delete Windows.
