    Have to boot to Windows to fix it

    Add it to the list of things that have literally never happened. A Linux LiveUSB/LiveCD? Sure

      • WSL access to CLI as admin

      • troubleshoot hardware issues

      • use bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi to fix bootloader issue

      • can disable fast startup

      • create a boot repair USB

    I dual-booted for almost five years. Never once did I have to boot to Windows to fix Linux. Sometimes I’d have to boot to Linux to fix Windows or boot to a Linux live USB to fix the bootloader that Windows broke. But never did I have to use Windows to fix Linux.

    The very idea of using Windows to fix Linux seems absurd.

    Most of this sub sounds like how old people explain tech problems badly. It’s clear they can’t be bothered to search and find out what is going on.

    Linux will let you break it. It isn’t meant for people who can’t be bothered with learning or consequences but insist on being superuser.
