While this seems like a trivial issue (Just buy a third SSD for Windows and dual boot)

That’s not trivial at all. Don’t let anyone let you think otherwise.

Consoles don’t use antichrist anticheat

The worst possible thing to happen to any series is the fandom taking things too seriously.

Literally gatekeeping other people’s enjoyment.

Dunno. I don’t live there.

Hey, don’t you know you need to become a Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert to do business properly?

Check out Blender. It’s primarily a 3D modeling software like Maya or Houdini, but it has an incredibly powerful video editor built into it.

He just mentioned it as an example of a kernel written in Rust. The interviewer asked if Rust isn’t accepted into the Linux kernel, would someone go out and build their own in Rust, and Linus mentioned Redox saying that’s already happened.

I think Linus mentioned Redox directly during the interview

Bad argument.

It would hold water if their solution was proprietary and closed source. But it isn’t, and anyone else, literally anyone, can take Proton and use it in their project for profit.

Even if they closed shop tomorrow, or even just gave up work on Proton itself, we’d all still reap the benefits at no cost to us.

Epic has exclusivity on release

Wait, really? It’s officially off my list now. Screw those guys.

Find me another company that supports open source and Linux the way Valve does… I’ll wait

No digital game store is worth your loyalty.

When that store is run by a company that contributes massively to open source and works harder and puts more money into enabling alternate platforms for gaming than all other companies combined; ya, they have my loyalty.

I would love to see reasonable competition to steam which would give consumers and developers better options

No one’s going to compete with and outdo Steam with Linux support.

Then anyone running a Windows VM would just switch to a Server edition, which is almost exclusively run via a VM.

If you install each OS with it’s own drive as the boot device, then you won’t see this issue.

Unless you boot Windows via the grub boot menu. If you do that then Windows will see that drive as the boot device.

If you select the OS by using the BIOS boot selection then you won’t see this issue.

I was bitten by Windows doing exactly this almost 15 years ago. Since that day if I ever had a need for dual-boot (even if running different distros) each OS will get it’s own dedicated drive, and I select what I want to boot through the BBS (BIOS Boot Selection). It’s usually invoked with F10 or F11 (but could be a different key combo.

While I generally agree with that, that’s not what seems to be happening here. What seems to be happening is that anyone who boots Windows via grub is getting grub itself overwritten.

When you install Linux, boot loaders like grub generally are smart and try to be helpful by scanning all available OSes and provide a boot menu entry for those. This is generally to help new users who install a dual-boot system and help them not think that “Linux erased Windows” when they see the new grub boot loader.

When you boot Windows from grub, Windows treats the drive with grub (where it booted from) as the boot drive. But if you tell your BIOS to boot the Windows drive, then grub won’t be invoked and Windows will boot seeing it’s own drive as the boot drive.

This is mostly an assumption as this hasn’t happened to me and details are still a bit scarce.
