You might like a VM for Windows instead, so there's no risk of a windows update taking a hammer to your bootloader
This is one of the reasons I like Qubes a lot.
I hadn't heard of this before, and the concept is really intriguing. Thanks for this. I'll check it out.
I didn’t spend tons of time experimenting, but found the VM wasn’t performing as smoothly as a second install.
Should I be worried about the boot loader thing? My OS picking experience is pretty wack. I have to slam esc while booting then f9 then pick my Linux boot up. It defaults to windows which I kind of like because it puts my actual OS on stealth mode lol.
If you're booting without GRUB then you don't need to be concerned about your bootloader breaking. Windows just sometimes overwrites GRUB, which is a pain
