I’m not a fan of this guy. I think he’s an insufferable edgelord.

But he’s not a nazi. Stop throwing labels you do not understand around.

This method shouldn’t have anything to do with what distro you’re gonna be using as the fix itself happens in Windows.

It’s a Windows fix relevant for dual booting Linux.

Edit: I used this exact method when I had two Windows installs on different drives and wanted to remove the original one from my system. Back in the Windows 7 days.

This is a completely different scenario?

As I wrote earlier. Windows doesn’t make a new EFI boot partition if there’s one on your system already. Regardless which drive it’s on and which drive you choose to install Windows to. It’s always been that way, I just forgot when I installed Linux on my old Windows drive and reinstalled Windows on a new drive. So when you do install Linux again after this, and choose automatic partitioning, it formats the EFI partition Windows used.

My solution is just how you move the Windows EFI partition and it’s files to a different drive, effectively isolating the Windows boot loader completely from the Linux drive.

I can chose which OS to boot into either by changing boot order in the BIOS, selecting it in the BIOS boot menu or in Linux’s Grub menu.

I think America has more to loose than Norway in these talks. So I kind of doubt Trump even wants to make a scene. Besidss, Støre’s got Stoltenberg with him, who just got done being the NATO GN for a decade.

Not sure what you mean here. This issue is related to moving Windows’s boot files to a different drive. Only relevant if you want to use the automatic partition option while installing a distro.

Booting in BIOS won’t make any difference whatsoever if the boot loader is gone.
