If it's on the same drive, after updates, Windows will try to 'fix' ~~that you have another OS~~ itself, and remove GRUB.

Install Windows again, then install Linux.

Windows is annoying with it's bootloader, but when you have separate drive, it would be way smoother experience.

The thing that makes me laugh/cry/be happy I switched to Linux, is that it's in that state, but it's a paid product.

If the license was free it was somewhat okay, but it's not. People are still paying.

But they still won't be able to remove all of the baked-in spyware.

The latest.

Like the other comment mentioned, you don't need to reboot, unless you've updated the kernel.

If you somehow downloaded by mistake an immutable system, like Fedora Silverblue or Fedora Kinoite, know it's not the classic way to manage Linux systems.

You can install on it a lot of custom ROMs, including GrapheneOS and CalyxOS.

Upgrade, ha?

OK, time to install TempleOS.

Ctrl+Shift+T anywhere.

As another comment suggests, try to change your user-agent. Chameleon is great.
