how do I stop windows from fucking bricking my linux partition? I booted into windows like two times and now I get cant acess tty
>>54344425
Did you edit your bootloader? Get EasyBCD on Windows and fix your boot options, add your linux partition as an entry if it isn't detected.
>>54344483
Grub and Linux boot but linux just starts in (intramifs) and says that my drive needs to be manually fsck'd
>>54344496
You didn't install Windows after you installed Linux, I hope? Because that usually fucks up a linux install.
>>54344550
No, I installed linux after
>>54344568

Do you guys think microsoft will be able to hold its ground once ARM cjips make it to desktop market?

>>54346798
