Who said Linux can’t be advertised? Behold: Linux, powered by GNU, with anti-viral formula Wipes Windows clean in seconds.
What’s that? Dont like this particular formula? Don’t fret, there are plenty of other types. And the best part: It’s free. But you can donate if you want to, it’s your choice.

It is also broken by Windows at every Windows update.
These days only the major ones. Like the H1/H2 updates. I agree there’s zero excuse for it in the EFI boot world. But, Microsoft gotta Microsoft.
Often you can just find the boot again in the bios and choose it. And that should be assured if you don’t put grub and windows in the same EFI partition.
Microsoft has always had his arrogant idea that the PC they’re installed on belongs to them and will just delete anything else they find in the way.
Why use something fragile like Windows?
I have it as a dual boot option. But, it’s not been booted since November. So I am assured I’ll need to rerun grub when I do decide I need to boot it for something I cannot do in either Linux, or a Windows VM in linux (that’s really a small number of things).
I get you, even i have to keep Windows for music and stuff. But hopefully ill be able to ditch it if My VST vendor supports Linux.
@znatgd @r00ty what about using VST in wine?

I appreciate it brother, but Native Access 2 on Linux refuses to run. I might have to look for other vendors who support WINE. If you have suggestions, do give some :)
The album I just released was made with mostly open-source tools, in particular LSP, Calf Studio Gear, and x42 were all made for Linux, and the two non-FOSS plugins (Graillon and Acon Digital Multiply) ran fine with yabridge.
Fr?! Woah, thats crazy! I think id better start looking for more VSTs than NI… thank you, and rock on !
I’m not using VST. There’s a few games I got on Microsoft store some years ago which there’s no way (yet) to make run in Linux (at least to my knowledge). But, I don’t feel that much need to play them. At least not enough to boot into windows, complete the huge updates likely waiting and then fix the grub install afterwards just to play a game.
Best to keep windows on a separate drive if you can.
Well, mainly you just need to keep the EFI entirely separate. That’s generally all you need. That’s what windows will decide to wipe and reinstall. I just didn’t do it this time. I think because of how disks were already partitioned.
What can we say, Windows is fragile, we have to handle it with care
Only if you dual boot!
