    That is something Windows likes to do for funsies sometimes. The distro shouldn’t matter. Separate drives can help avoid it from what I’ve heard though.

      Not just windows, most linux distros do it too. People just don’t notice it that much because if you’re using Linux you probably let it handle boot already so nothing gets changed when it overwrites stuff.

        I mean yeah, it overwrites itself with the new version when updated. I have not seen a distro that by default overwrites or removes other boot partitions.
