Don't even have to do that. Install windows first, then install Linux with refind bootloader on preferably a separate disk. Done
Did exactly that.
I installed arch so that didn't happen.
Not how it works
You do need a separate EFI, even though linux finds EFI, otherwise windows update trashes it randomly and why the meme we see here exists, with separate EFI windows doesn't know about it. You can shutdown windows mid update and boot linux, then reboot back to windows and update will continue. Siloed System
That's literally what I did yesterday with my method. It works, Windows has never trashed it
It will, thats why that meme exists.
Not during typically reboots, but when some windows update or autofile repair happens it thinks it is the only OS on that partition and does what it likes.
Nope, ran it like this for over 5 years. Definitely rebooted during updates / did some crap
Then you have been lucky, because most peoples experience with grub EFI on Windows partition is windows will eventually scrub it.
I'm not using Grub
Makes no difference of what bootloader, just that windows thimks it owns that partition
