Knowing Microsoft’s behavior for many years, it might. If I had a dual-boot, I’d make sure I have a backup of all the important data on a separate device
I mean for instance. I dual-boot Linux and W11 atm. For some reason my Windows 11 needs to be formatted back because of the virus or etc or SSD replacement with fresh installation of Windows11 and of course bitlocker will be activated automatically after WIndows have been reinstalled it back from the scratch. Will this affect my other ext4 or Btrfs OS partition? or do I need to back up of my Linux important files on that partition before W11 mess up my Linux?
The question is will this encrypt other partition that have other OS such as Linux automatically especially for dual boot users?

Bitlocker is a feature that relies on NTFS
Unless you’ve somehow been working with cthulhu and installed Linux on an NTFS partition, you’re probably golden
