A little story about windows. I know it's partially my fault but Microsoft just hates it users.
So I was running dual boot an messed up the boot loader. A quick fix and I was back to Linux.
When I wanted to boot windows the bootloader was damaged and I couldn't fix it with windows repair tools.
So I thought: ok just install the snapshot windows found. Worst case they delete windows right?
Well it told that it will reformat the boot partition and no more info. It took a suspicious amount of time and when I booted it I was in windows and all ALL of my connected drives where formatted. No question asked just wiped the whole system!
Fuck you Windows!
This is one of the reasons why my Windows bootloader is currently broken. I made a similar mistake a few years ago, and now I don't have the mental energy to make sure that everything's ready in case Windows screws up again
Still to this day I have to open my case and disconnect all but the windows ssd before (re)installing windows.
