bahua129055yAn incident like this was the last straw for me, in 2016. Since then, I have only run Windows in a VM, a cloud instance, or a local parsec machine.

dr-ant13575y@Nanos You definitely are not the only one.
I'm now used to the abusive relationship with Windows, I guess. I have lost some recent changes but I have another disk that I can maybe clone.
Let's see how it goes. -
neolium12705yTrying to create usb to install win on my pc... "This tool cant run on this pc - the reason is unknown" - Congratulation Winfuck

@neoliun hehe. gaming on Linux is about to be a strong thing thanks to steams project proton.

@bahua people dont realize it exists, but it's already almost identical in performance to native. Amazing considering its posix system call translation.

this shit never works
make a linux bootable usb... configure or format all your partitions in linux live...
make a windows bootable usb... just install in that partition... no using of any fancy bells which never work -

This just occurred to me:
If this is a work machine, wtf are you doing messing with recovery and EFI? I would think that company policy dictates that you would turn it over to your desktop support people in an event like this. -
dr-ant13575y@bahua no this isn't a work machine. When I said I need to work with Windows regularly I meant at home. Since my workplace uses Windows extensively, more of my time is spent on Windows even at home. The side projects I think of are often Windows based.
I have recovered some of my stuff. Dual booted again. 😬
Let's see how much longer it lasts.
This has woken me up to how lazy I've been with periodic backups. I'm thinking of investing for auto backups. -
dr-ant13575y@Nanos yeah that's the thing. I was thinking of getting some hardware and writing my own tool that will at least work for me.
