When the windows update bricked my OS I sighed in pure relief as I could finally stop using windows forever. As an added bonus I didn't lose any work because the drive was fully accessible to arch.... after windows said it had encrypted the drive.

Absolute trash operating system and I have zero regrets leaving.

Same, Windows also bricked my Grub install (which was on another drive). Too bad I have to use that trash for school

I very much understand your pain, my drive died mid-year while I was at university, I just cleaned it up and added it to a virtual machine with win10 to finish projects with the windows based programs.

Worked surprisingly well. I used virtual machine manager on arch (and now endeavour, I can't stop distro hopping but I've stayed on endeavour the longest)

Yup a Windows update messing with the bootloader before gracefully failing (blue screen) was the nudge for me to remove it once and for all
