On top of that, writing a second comment so you see this update.
I only have one drive, with secure boot and bitlocker active. You of all people, someone involved with Linux on Lemmy, should know what a recipe for disaster it would be to partition that drive. Given Windows' proclivity for breaking everything when it comes to Linux and dual-booting, on top of being new to the scene, my concerns seem pretty fucking legitimate.
And yet the reception is cold downvotes and a mischaracterisation of my original post.
Great job you guys, surely the year of Linux will be any day now with that attitude 🙄...
