I’m not sure if I had two separate boot partitions (on separate drives), but I know for certain that windows will try to fuck with bootloaders on other drives during install and certain updates. Has happened to me enough times over the decades to realize the only safe way to keep windows away is an air-gap

Last I checked, if you want to dual boot, you HAVE to install Windows first (or disconnect the linux drive before hand), otherwise it will mess with your boot partitions on all drives.

Windows is also prone to mess with boot partitions randomly long after the initial install, so be wary

The amount of not KDE answers here surprises me. Y’all a bunch of nerds [endearing]
