Can't dual boot anymore

Hello,

I have both Windows 10 and a Linux distro installed on my laptop. A few weeks ago, after an update on Windows 10, I somehow lost the ability to boot on Linux. Usually, when booting, I had the option to choose between both, but now it automatically boots on Windows 10. I'm completely lost on what to do to resolve this. Any clue?

Wish I could daily drive Linux on all my devices

I own 2 laptops and a desktop.
My 2nd laptop has deepin installed on it as a main but my main laptop which has a GTX 1050 TI is only dual booting deepin and windows 10.

My desktop is only Windows 10 and all this is mostly due to gaming and VR. I've been looking into maining Linux as a daily driver on all 3 but it just doesn't seem possible cause I love gaming and VR and I've tried steam proton and steam remote play with latest Linux Nvidia drivers but it either doesn't run or runs pretty bad :(

But God damn other than that Linux is simply amazing and I love it

HBO Go now works "natively" on Linux

Pretty sure it didn't work a few weeks ago but I tried it a few days ago and was surprised that it just worked (Fedora 31, Firefox 71.0 -- no Pipelight or Wine or other workarounds). I enabled Widevine DRM, went to [https://play.hbogo.com](https://play.hbogo.com), and signed in using my cable provider credentials (Comcast Xfinity).

I binged on "Chernobyl" and it was mostly fine except for some tearing at fullscreen (Gnome Classic on Xorg -- need to try Wayland).

Some questions about DRM

I was reading up on DRM (Netflix, Spotify thingy and not the X11 thingy) topics like widewine, playfair, playready etc.,
+ If ms edge comes to linux will it have playready pre-loaded?
+ I was thinking if it was possible for the vendors to write their own DRM implementation in wasm which will be cross platform and we can enjoy 4K in all the platforms.

Noob here. Please go easy if the questions are stupid.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer - is it working properly?

I was curious if Linux does use my audio card properly to decode audio with hardware acceleration or decode it with CPU, then put it through my card to simply play the audio.

Do you have any info about it?
