But Microsoft removed the “start Linux” option from their bootloader in windows 10 and higher when booting in EFI mode. Maybe you’re still booting in CSM mode and you patched w11 to allow this? (W11 doesn’t support csm mode)
it is very much a ‘legacy’ system that has no clue what uefi is. but it has plenty of ram, decent-enough gpu, and the cpu is still faster than some of the cheap shit sold today by the major oems.
You must have missed that the Windows version/implementation of SecureBoot … and/or BitLocker… have had various NSA backdoors for years.
Thats why shit seems to keep breaking in new crazy ways: Whoops, that backdoor got found out, time to rollout a new one, via a Windows update, that can overwrite your bootsector, on its own, whenever it wants to.
They keep fucking with the bootloader and breaking most dual boot configs because they don’t like the idea that they will not always be able to tap your computer via a secret warrant issued by a secret court.
You can’t build in a backdoor as a reliable method of spying on people, because people who aren’t supposed to know its there will figure it out in… not actually very much time.
There are very good reasons why huge chunks of the EU has their government agencies throwing out Windows.
Yes. It’s pretty funny reading someone so confident in all the extra security they’re getting from Windows messing with their boot sequence, earlier in this thread.
Corporate OS is going to corporate. End users and private files are rarely winners when corporate needs to corporate hard.
Like, a few years ago, I could have at least held my nose and said ‘well, Windows has so many business oriented tools and services, that do at least 90% work for what any particular business could need, that… sure, fine, makes sense as a business OS, not a personal use OS, but enterprise sure fine whatever.’
Now? Now after CoPilot/GitHub/vibe coding destroying half of Windows… the insane CVEs in the last few years, every tech CEO developing AI Psychosis? US gov policy just literally being: ‘Our software spying is extremely legitimate, everyone elses makes them a terrrorist, and also you’re a terrorist if you don’t like our spying’?
Fucking no way, you’d have to be ignorant, insane or an idiot to want to use Windows, for literally anything.
They could at least be… subtle, or clever, or have some kind of even slightly convincing rhetorical position/explanation.
But nope, just balls to the wall ‘This PC = OUR PC’

Google locking down Android is the same thing.
Yes. It’s pretty funny reading someone so confident in all the extra security they’re getting from Windows messing with their boot sequence, earlier in this thread.

Its really wild.
