Also on laptop, yeah - I only ever had one laptop in my life (a Gemini Celeron for like 300 monies), but it has two drives (both sata iirc).
(I only need it to remote to my servers & maybe some web browsing.)
Yep. Depends on your exact laptop if there’s space for a second drive. On my old 2011 MacBook pro I uninstalled the CD drive and installed a second SSD. Well, upgrading the HDD to SSD in the first place… THEN a second SSD
I’m glad I’ve always kept Windows on a separate disk.
Don’t partition records on one disk affect multiple disks?
Not if they are on the (encrypted at that) Linux disc & uefi boots to that drive.
I think that would be unknown to a lot of people expecting to dual boot as a transition step away from Windows.
Oh, def, that’s why MS is doing shit like that (for a decade now).
I’ve def helped friends out with this issue before.
Mine still got fucked.

I assume this isn’t usual?
I’m sure laptops with only 1 NVMe slot exist, but you can just not buy them
