Bootloaders don’t interact with the UEFI, the UEFI interacts with the bootloader.

Sounds like you just used a bad one. systemd-boot is superb, it autodetects all kernals and shows an option to access the UEFI.

Windows however, assumes it owns your boot partition, so likes to delete Linux bootloaders if installed last.

This is very easily mitigatable.

Set your root and home partitions seperately. Keep a text file of all the applications you install (preferably as a script).

When you break it, reinstall the OS, and relink the home partition. Run the script to reinstall your applications. Done.

Certainly takes less time than reinstalling Windows or even asking it to fix itself.

If you need adobe, fair enough.

With Steam’s Proton, you can play games made for Windows. The only games which certainly won’t work are ones which require anti-cheat.

AMD or NVIDIA? Also how long ago?

I found most prograns I need run on wine, you just need to use the right settings. Playonlinux and Lutris are useful for applications, not just games.

I have ADHD and meditation has been a great help. I used the Waking Up app to learn to meditate, which removes all sorts of mysticism from the equation. The introductory course is great, it starts out simple enough but begins to become very interesting by about day 20 or so.

Amazing what 10 minutes of practice a day does.
