Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I'm not gonna fire up Windows (Update) for this, but shouldn't the bootloader handle this?

    [–] gaylord_fartmaster@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    I've never actually had this problem, but the issue is Windows will wipe your bootloader from the ESP, so it can't do anything about it. You can use your bootloader of choice to fix it, but you'd have to chroot from a live image.

    Source: I accidentally deleted the wrong EFI partition

    Sounds about right. In my case I think it didn't even wipe the whole thing.

    I just don't understand why they share EFI partitions.
