I mean, if you duel boot, it’s just a matter of time until Windows nukes your other OS. At least with me, my Linux was about to solve world peace, but Windows got wind of that and shut it the fuck down.
I almost wanted to correct you and say its dual not duel, but when I think about it windows will fight to be the only bootloader right when you think its finally behaving.
Ah damn this is exactly what happened a few days ago.
My popos boot entry suddenly disappeared. I can still just boot from the physical ssd it’s installed on, but I found it strange it just pooped out somehow.
Any pointers on how to fix it?

Meme is correct, they’re coming for you.

Wanted to say the same: the typo made the comment better. There has to be a community for this.
Reminded me how Windows would set the hardware clock to different timezone that Linux uses, can’t remember which.
It would make my blood boil, that’s when I decided to never boot it again. 100% Linux everywhere, I get it on routers when I can.
Windows sets the hardware clock to local time, Linux sets it to UTC. It’s possible to tell one to respect the others preference
So that’s why windows always has the wrong time after I’ve been in my Linux install…
It should change it back eventually if you didn’t disable setting the clock from Microsofts ntp servers
I will never expect Windows to respect any preference. Updates burnt me too many times.
Linux for life.
Then you’re clearly not dual booting and this advice wasn’t for you
Not anymore I’m not, you are correct.
Also wrote that earlier.
I have never had this issue on Mint/Windows duel boot
I have been running it for at least 6 months if not longer. So , I think that’s a valid sample size
Windows basically never nukes the actual linux install. It DOES like breaking the bootloader though. Which is fixable but still deeply annoying.

Here’s an article on how to fix it.
TLDR: You need to boot from a live disk, mount your install and reinstall the bootloader.
