I thought I was safe from this if I installed windows on a completely separate harddrive… I clearly overestimated Microsoft’s ability to make on operating system that does not act like literal malware. Oh well! I guess I’m 100% linux now.

    welcome to the club 😂

    did it overwrite your GRUB partition or did it just remove the uefi entry?

    iirc the later is pretty easy to fix with efibootmgr if you have a live cd / usb

      the partition was still there, but if i tried to boot from it would just kick me back to the bios. unless there’s some obscure grub bug that happened to trigger exactly after i booted into windows i guess…

      the fix was pretty simple, i just reinstalled grub from a live environment.
