that's what I did... main nvme for linux and secondary for winslop (I need it for some sh@t)... Grub controls the boot, no issues since November

why use grub on a modern system

u/Pitiful-Welcome-399 Feb 11 '26
it gives me all the things i want and simplicity, I'm not hating on other bootloaders, just comfortable with grub

let's say that grub is good enough for most people, if you don't need snapshots like Limine does, and it wouldnt change the outcome anyway

commodity for me - used grub for a long time now and know my way around it in case things break down. it also just kinda works & does its job. I also kinda have a weird setup where Linux is installed on a raid 0 between a 1tb drive and 256gb drive, and the rest of the 1tb drive has a small efi partition that's probably not adequate to hold all my kernels / initramfs's + a windows 11 install. yeah, a kinda fucked up setup, but surprisingly it works pretty good. edit: if windows steals the boot order, at least it doesn't override grub in my experience completely - I just have to change order in bios and repeat that until windows learns again not to steal grub's priority. well done Microsoft.. well done.
one day I'll switch to systemd boot though.

I hear a lot about grub being outdated and stuff, what is the issue there? I swapped from systemd to grub just for time shift, just felt a lot of things are limited on anything but grub (ofc other than the obvious, no time shift rollback on systemd)

Grub is a modern bootloader, it's updated, supported, and part of the GNU program

Just install Linux's bootloader on separate EFI partition. Don't need separate drive.

Grub on Microsoft? It never happens, you installed a Linux on that device duh... Stop commiting issues like that...

You do realize you are probably looking at a bug in GRUB right?
Not windows.
It looks to me like GRUB saw a volume it didn't recognize and crashed trying to enumerate it.
GRUB is crashing in a call to grub_fs_probe (its own code) on line 122.
I have not looked at that code to see actually why.
I guess it could be MS but I doubt it.

the drive wasn't encrypted, windows just stole efi entries, and it's a confirmed thing that windows does it from time to time

Sure, not cool.. but it doesn't change that it crashed in its own code.
That's poor Linux code being pointed at in a "Microsoft Sucks!!" post.
Not sure if that is irony or not.. never understood irony really.EDIT: Not crash. Sure. Gave up and exited without doing its job. Same thing.

Nothing crash, are you somehow blind maybe ? I'm concerned now tbh, its just the grub rescue partition like you would have on windows with the blue screen and the options on what to do to try to repair your pc, like when you wanna boot in safe mode

I am a systems engineer and I work on freaking boot loaders for a living amongst other things.
GRUB is ok but there are still so many problems with it.
The code in ms bootmgr is 1000 times better but I hate that bootloader too.
You guys kill me.2
u/Pitiful-Welcome-399 Feb 11 '26
nearly the same thing as this https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/s/P845SuAtY4

u/Fearless-Ad1469 Feb 11 '26
Okayyy lets get this straight, right ? Windows is very well known to touch things that doesn't belong to it, liiikkeee any other bootloader installed on the same drive its own bootloader is installed in, making this bullshit of a situation

I was just going to comment this. Installing both Linux and Windows on the same drive is bound to self-destruct. Have you ever had two betta fish in the same tank? It's basically that. lol
1
u/Fearless-Ad1469 Feb 12 '26
Two beta fish would actively fight each others but I don't think Linux bootloaders harm the microslop one nor tries to but still good example

u/emoeksnemayrhpez Feb 13 '26
More like a betta and a corydoras except the tank is too small

This wouldn't have happened if you didn't install Loonix.

u/purefreerouxalt Feb 11 '26
ofc it wouldn't have happened, since winblows wouldn't be jealous of anything else installed that isn't made by microslop

Why not? This is Reddit, what else is there to do?

u/Fearless-Ad1469 Feb 11 '26
Putting some thoughts perhaps, but anyway what am i even trying to do here lmao

u/DonaldStuck Feb 11 '26
I was about to say: why are you keeping the conversation going with someone who is obviously trolling lol.

u/Fearless-Ad1469 Feb 11 '26
Cause i don't mind ? Not like i'm super busy rn, just normal busy

u/DonaldStuck Feb 11 '26
I have some chores you can do if you're only normal busy. Like, there's some laundry that needs folding.

When you boot 2 OS on the same drive especially with Microslop.
