From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I need help on EndevourOS, it's not recognizing the Windows boot and I don't understand how to solve it. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So, I made my bootable EndevourOS image. I installed it on my secondary SSD, while I have Win11 on my primary SSD (need it for my job).

When I installed it I booted it up and everything was ok. A bit confusing, but ok.

Wanted to get into Windows again because I needed to work on something for a design (Adobe programs), next thing I know: my computer isn't recognizing my Windows drive...

It's there. I can see it on the "disks" app on EndevourOS, I can mount the disk and even see my files in there. But it just won't boot.

Read the documentation and it mentions an "os-prober", that I needed to change GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false in the etc/default/drub file... I don't have that file anywhere in my system...

I installed os-prober, nothing. I searched any other folder with a similar name and checked files... The only file with a mention of os-prober is grub.d that says "if GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=xtrue then random warning", but that is a set of instructions (i think), not the actual file.

I don't think I should have tried EOS/Arch when I've been learning Linux for only 2 days, can anybody help me with this? Thank you for any answers in advance.
