Ive literally never heard of that. Windows can overwrite grub/your bootloader though (easy fix, just boot into a live usb and reinstall grub).
If Linux eats your Windows install that’s a serious bug. That means it’s overwritten data on a drive that’s not even mounted, without you directing it to do so.

I don’t want to dual boot, mainly because of the risk of Linux randomly eating my Windows install.
Windows randomly nuking the EFI partition is very much more a reality.
So it can go either way, they can both eat eachother?
Does this happen even if they’re on separate harddrives?
I’ve never heard of Linux destroying a Windows partition unless there’s a blatant user error.
I’d be more worried about the windows bootloader deciding to overwrite grub

But I guess anything can happen…
