PSA: If you have linux on a different disk and want to install windows on another, unplug your linux disk, or windows will trash your ESP partition

For those interested, I totally forgot about this.

My PC consists of 2 ssd disks and a storage HDD disk.

I have windows installed on one and linux on the other ssd.

I know I can setup a multi boot system using only one ESP pertition, but I wanted independence between one OS and the other.

Before I go further, for those that don't know, the ESP partition is your /boot partition for UEFI setups (I know it's more than that, but I want to keep this simple)

It's pretty straightforward: You mount it, run grub and it will let you boot in UEFI mode - just like you've always done with BIOS.

​

Microsoft windows creates its own ESP partition unless it does see another ESP partition on any other disk, then, it will procceed to (try to) use that partition as windows ESP partiton in order to boot in UEFI mode. Only it won't use it properly, will trash it, windows will boot in BIOS mode in the end and you won't be able to boot your linux system :) (Thanks microsoft!)

​

So, in order to keep the harmony, I ended up unplugging the LINUX disk altogether when I had to reinstall windows last week (mobo and cpu upgrade). Forgot about this little fact and had to chroot into my encrypted linux system and recover the esp partition (was quite easy, tho)

​

I'll leave this here in case anyone runs into the same issue anytime.

​

If IKEA developed a distro?

Was checking out EndevourOS and realized the head of development is named Johannes Kamprad which begs the obvious question: what would an official IKEA distro look and function like? What would be the niche?

Where does one start learning Linux

Hi all,

I’m one of those guys that gets scared when he sees Linux being used on servers at work. I need to change this.

I have used Linux on my Pi and followed instructions to get me where I needed to be, but I want to spend the next 6-12 months learning it properly.

I have access to Udemy and wondered if there are any good courses I can buy there or somewhere else to follow and get me over this scary edge?

What did you do?

I’m a Windows guy and a certified network engineer so this would be great to add.

Thanks
