      And? Just because it’s a good practice doesn’t mean it’s okay for Windows to go and fuck up every other OS on the drive. There shouldn’t be any technical issues with having two OS on the same drive. What if you just want to test two different OS so you could decide which one to keep? Are you supposed to buy a new drive just because you’ll need it for a month?

      What you’ve said is not an argument why Windows gets to fuck up every other OS that’s on the same drive.

      is how it should be done

      No it isn’t.

      The whole point of partitions is so you can have multiple things on the same drive. Be them data, swap, or… yes, operating systems.

        You shouldn’t be partitioning your OS drive and putting multiple OS’s on it. Terrible practice.

          The best practice is to buy a separate PC for each system and while you are at it, try buying a new house to perfectly isolate both systems /s

        No one who wants to boot into multiple OS’s should want to have them on the same physical drive. That’s complete idiocy. Zero redundancy, lose all of them if the drive dies.

        New OS, new disk. Every time.

          I’m glad that you have extra income to buy drive per OS to insert into your PC, but there are these things that are called laptops, and sometimes people have them, and sometimes they have quite old ones and non-extensible ones and you get where I’m going with this?

          That’s cool that you do it that way. But why do you care how other people do it? And like… You seem really fucking emotional about it.

            🤣 playing the old “emotional” card so soon? You have to at least wait until the person says something in a remotely even frustrated way before trying that old chestnut.
