Dual Boot dilemma (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hello there,

I just want to buy a new gaming system, laptop, because I want to be mobile. There is only one game I cant give up that is league of legends. So I'm searching a manufactor, which can handle dual boot perfectly. I mean everytime I boot into windows and want to reboot into linux again, so my entry is gone (refind, systems and grub). Maybe there is a brand which separate two OS Hardware wise or has a BIOS espacially for such a case?

No, Windows still erases my linux entry and that get me on nerve. It bypass my refind boot manager and boots directly into Windows. I have to remove Windows drive to boot into refind again

Even when you change the boot order in the BIOS?

Yes! Everytime my UEFI (sorry previous posters: I have UEFI) set my boot order to Windows Boot manager after booting into Windows. Why is Windows so penetrant?

I have a laptop and never had your issue. Does your Linux partition MOUNT the boot partition as /boot/EFI?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
