I am unfamiliar with refind, but from my experience with systemd & grub dual boot, if you do not change your boot order in bios, there is a high chance that the windows boot manager will brick your Linux one, even across drives. My advice for dual booting is to ditch the convenience of using one boot manager. But once again, this may not be an issue you have.

Thank you, I was aware of this, but I believe you are mistaken in your last sentence because Linux has always been the second one to be installed for me and the issue still crops up when I forget to heed my own advice

While I agree with your assertion in theory, I cannot agree that windows doesn’t mess with grub. I have had 5 different issues with grub being overwritten, 1 was because windows and Linux were on the same drive, but the other 4 was simply because I launched windows through grub.

My advice for people dual booting is to never launch windows through grub and instead change your boot order in bios, this has made all of my boot related issues go away.
