With all their talk about loving Linux you'd think they'd work on not breaking grub all the time.
- They love Linux*!
  *the windows subsystem for Linux
I'm glad I deleted that Windows partition since I didn't use it anyways. And in typical Microsoft fashion they don't acknowledge there's even a problem leaving people in the dark. I'm never going back to Windows.
- I read news like this and I'm so happy I haven't had to touch Windows since Win7
Is this the new embrace, extend, extinguish?
- This is the ongoing story of Microsoft since it started.

Windows is malware and deserves to be treated as such
Am I right in assuming this only applies to single disks partitioned with both Windows and a Linux distro?
- No. Any efi dual boot is affected.
  
  Even separate disks? Ouch. I'm guessing Fedora is not impacted here.
My solution for cases like this is sudo format c: /q && apt install linux.
