I find the battlefield series much better and more appealing than COD. I do have both, but I prefer BF. I'd suggest trying battlefield 2 bad company. It's a solid game.
That's awesome. I love fixing things. 5 or 6 years ago when I worked as an installer. A lady was using a brand spanking new PS3 as her Blu-ray player. I was at her house installing a TV and a brand new Blu-ray player. She gave me the PS3. I still have it until now. I even bought more games for it. Thanks for the game suggestion, too. Lol
Started with GOW1 and 2. Finished both and now halfway through Ascension then I'd switch to the very first uncharted, then do some soccer on PS1 and PS2 and 3. I have a whole bunch of games on the list.
There WAS something weird that had a UEFI word in it, but choosing it shows nothing. I'd go over all the menu choices I see one by one and none of them takes me to windows. It was very annoying, all good now since I separated them. Next time this happens I'll just ask on the Linux community. Hopefully you'll pop up there and help. 😅
Wow, damn. I didn't know the motherboard can have a hand in this. Stupid gigabyte then. I hope this time, windows stays in its lane if I ever had to reinstall Linux. Thank you for the explanation, btw. Much appreciated
As long as you do what I mentioned in my comment, you'll mostly be fine. Worst thing that could happen is a windows feature update resetting the boot sequence to itself only. It's been a breeze.
Maybe I'm fucking cursed. I did absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Installed Linux on a drive. Installed windows on another. Set the boot sequence in the BIOS to Linux. Installed osprober and ran it. The only different thing I have is the windows iso I use is stripped down using Chris Titus' windows debloat script, and that one shouldn't mess with anything as far as I know. It only debloats windows.
I've been dualbooting for over a year now. Made sure each system has its own separate drive. I've noticed that every time I had to reinstall Linux, my windows boot entry is gone and then I can't access it no matter what I tried. Turned out installing Linux first then windows was my mistake. When installing windows while there is a Linux install, windows will see the EFI partition already there and just decides to share it, and doesn't create its own.
I found that out by accident while I was in windows' storage management. There was no efi partition. Took a whole day to find out how to create one on the same drive where windows is installed and removing the one it created on the Linux partition. It was so painful.
Bottomline, install windows first if you want to dualboot. After that, even if windows takes over the boot after an update, all it does is resets the boot sequence and makes it default to it. You'd just need to access the bios and reset the sequence to prioritize Linux. That's it
Oh it absofuckinglutely happens. If you install Linux first then Windows, windows will see the boot partition and use it instead of creating its own. Install windows first on its own, then install Linux. How I know? Hmmmmm
I only know vaultboy and Mario and Luigi. I'm obviously not the intended audience. lol
