There are multiple ways to solve the bootloader issue, but the easiest is putting your Linux drive ahead of your Windows drive in firmware settings, during installation.

- wintermutestwin 5y agoWhat I found was that you could remove the other drive. That won't work on an Intel MacBook though...
- zamalek 5y agoWindows will absolutely blast your boot sector/UEFI partition with no concern for other OSes (it won't chain load). Mac avoids this with Bootcamp, which is more similar to firmware than an OS. I'm surprised the parent comment has this issue. They are either using BIOS, or the automatic disk mode (and just complained about the installer doing things automatically on their disk). Avoiding this scenario is UEFI is as simple as creating a exFAT partition and mounting it to /boot. Any calamares-based installer will let you do that.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoShhhhhh let's ignore basic facts and define our experience with an OS as the only valid take on the OS :)
