It should not be breaking the bootloader. I have a question though. Is Windows installed on that device? Windows absolutely will break your bootloader on an update, if it’s installed on the same drive as Windows. No one knows if it’s malice or a bug, but it’s been a thing forever and they haven’t fixed it, so it has to be desired to an extent.
I think it’s a little of neither on that one… It’s an effect of always assuming it’s the only thing installed on a machine and not actually caring about not stepping on competition to code the updater to look for and respect dual boot configs
I’m sure they’d look at it like a happy little accident
That’s what I expect too. It’s technically a bug, but it’s also doing something they want, so they don’t care to fix it. If you aren’t running Windows only, you’re a second class citizen to them. If the update happens to fuck up your bootloader, they aren’t concerned. They are aware of the issue, and they could fix it if they wanted to, but they don’t care because it doesn’t bother them.
Weird. I’ve never heard of this being an issue. I can’t really help more without more knowledge of your system. It is abnormal though. I don’t know what you did, but it isn’t something that you would expect to happen.

Nope this 100% Linux machine and partitions.

Yeah I just need to reinstall at some point, maybe try another distro.
