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.

You can have a helper script do it for you (the gui) but it still happening in the background

The boot files go into C:, not G:.

Windows can't operate if you did that, it doesn't let you.

Fijn article, thanks for sharing!

Still, I don't get why'd you do that, all my windows installation automatically put boot files onto C: and did not allow me to touch them afterwards.
G: also seems completely arbitrary, and I'm the majority of windowa setups wouldn't exist or be an external drive.
Simple as.

The boot directory on your file system is where the system gets it from to put on G. It’s left there for recovery/repair

But you still have a G partition for the boot. It lets the computer itself have an easier time finding it (think labeled as boot). Your ssd is divided, it’s not a 2nd physical disk

The letter is arbitrary, so is C. It’s just the default
