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.

Usually dual boot on the same drive is where things break.
Windows tends to play Pac-Man with other operating systems in those cases.
But either way happy you got it running and enjoy :)
Thank you. I've actually separated their boot partitions from each other a long time ago since each one is on a separate drive. Windows still wanted to take over, no sir. Smacked it around and it chilled down. Lol
Fucking hell I didn't know they even went across different drives now. I'll keep using promox then lol
lol. Yup. Windows first checks for an efi partition. If there is one, it uses it, if there isn’t, it the creates its own. At first I didn't know this, and every time I reinstalled my Linux system, windows is gone from the boot menu. It was a mystery until some random person online told me that. So, I then manually moved windows’ boot partition and gave it to it, and then deleted it from being in the same folder with the Linux one. Lucky for me, I always give the Linux boot partition a whole 1GB even though people recommend 300MiB or 500.
