    This happens with most Linux installs particularly with Windows 11, but you can still boot to Linux from your BIOS. Interestingly enough, the only Linux distro where this has not happened is Fedora, which also doesn’t fuck the system clock up to make the Windows clock wrong. Fedora seems to be doing everything right these days.

        “required” in quote is the correct way to write it. Windows actually requires shit. It will block you from upgrading because of irrelevant requirements but then let’s you install it normally. And in best Microsoft tradition more expensive versions of Windows will let you ignore more of the meaningless requirements. (Just like the basic version will nowadays require a MS account and being online to install, while other versions don’t.)

        BIOS meaning the EFI boot menu. It’s a generic term that we refuse to let die just because EFI has taken over.
