The windows boot loader has a tendency to erase the GRUB for booting Linux, borking it as soon as you load into windows. It’s probably because windows is still in dual boot.
Edit: specifically, IIRC, it was windows update that borked it, but it always would auto-update when I opened it, so if you can find a way to guarantee windows never updates, power to you.
Yeah I would assume so too but I can’t drop windows and if I can’t rely on dual booting to work it’s not worth messing with. I have a laptop with bazzite on it but that only gets so far.
My Linux mint partition broke almost immediately :(

So that explains my Zorin install disappearing several times. I just gave up and got a Mac.
Yeah, sorry, I learned that the hard way. I just eventually said fuck it, and now I run 'doze on a VM in my Linux mint.

Don’t dualboot with a partition and you’ll be fine. Give Linux it’s own drive and Windows stops messing with it.
I don’t have enough drive slots for that.

I did that but it is still trying to give me updates constantly.
