good read, thanks!
Plenty of stuff could and should be improved in the broader Linux ecosystem, no question about it.
Still, Microsoft pushed an update that was not supposed to apply to dual-boot systems, but did – and created a huge issue for a lot of Linux users.
I am not saying this was done on purpose. But I am saying Microsoft deserves boatloads of flak for this outcome, due to their position and power in the OS market, and their past approach to independent operating systems.
