    if you get a coreboot compatible laptop you can burn GRUB into your firmware so that it can’t ever be destroyed by windows.

    Then you can boot into linux by having GRUB load the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file in your linux FS, or load windows by chainloading into another payload in firmware (e.g. SeaBIOS) that can load windows.

    This is kinda advanced though, and there is a big limitation in that you can only run BIOS (not UEFI) because EDK2, which is the only coreboot payload that can do UEFI can’t be chainloaded into from grub
