Spoiler alert: the main reason he says the experience “hasn’t been great” is because shortly before posting the video his Linux install mysteriously broke and he had no idea why. Therefore, he recommended dual-booting Windows just in case.

Cue sea of comments explaining that the reason for the error he was getting was that Windows screwed up his bootloader (i.e. the problem was caused by dual-booting to begin with, LOL).

    I had a problem with dualbooting windows because i always have to shutdown it using shift+shutdown, because windows kidnaps my ssd and hdd.

      Also had issues with dual booting until I removed the Linux drives when installing Windows to make sure the boot partition was created on a separate drive.
      Zero issues since.

      Biggest downside is Windows always rebooting after updates, and if I don’t sit there, it boots back into Linux as it’s the first option in Grub.

      At least now I have the option to fire up Windows when I can’t solve something in Mint.

        I had this issue on my media pc which I wanted to be booting into mint, but grub would throw it to windows on reboots which made it super unreliable. Finally found how to edit grub (really wish there was a simple ui for it but it must be pain, I guess). Hope it helps.

          Thanks mate, but the only way to fix it would be to have Windows as the prio boot OS, which just hurts too much hehe.

          I’d rather sit and wait and choose it manually after updating.
