Microsoft finally fixed the GRUB boot issue on dual-boot systems nine months after a Windows update caused widespread Linux boot failures.

    Secure Boot is bullshit and for Microsofts illegitimate interests anyways.

        People still hate secure boot because they thought it was designed to kill Linux. Really Linux distros just didn’t work with it right out of the box and it took a bit for them to play nicely. Buy that largely has been fixed for 10+ years at this point.

        Really they’re just technological boomers. The “I hate change.” Mindset.

          So is it considered ‘secure’? and to what extent?

    Too late MS, I have already deleted your partition…
    And recreated the partition table which you so kindly made with badly aligned sectors.
