I just spent 3 hours fixing my #ArchLinux boot loader because #Windows10 decided to repartition itself, changing the location of the #EFI system partition among other things.
I was using the #EFISTUB method, and it appears the boot entries created by `efibootmgr` can only be identified by partition number, not GUID or something.
Damn, this was messy! Are there any #Linux boot loaders that survive a #Windows update?
Has anyone ever tried using two ESPs on separate drives for #DualBoot?

@BryanGreyson On my desktop #PC, I went with the #EFISTUB method. So you're basically using the #EFI system as your boot manager. It works great because #Windows doesn't even know you're doing it.
You can read up about it here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/EFISTUB
It's a bit of an advanced method though, since there are no easy tools yet.
Whatever you do, do NOT try to edit any boot entries with `BCDEdit` from within Windows, that's how I broke mine 😅
