Question about the 100 MB for EFI partition used for dual-booting with Windows
by AlwaysNoiseless from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5ABEJ)
Hello,
When installing Arch Linux it's written that it's better to keep at least 512 MB or even 1 GB for the EFI partition, however, if you want to dual-boot with Windows, Windows automatically creates a 100 MB EFI partition and you're advised to use that 100 MB and share it with the Linux installation. My question is why suddenly 100 MB is enough for the EFI partition?
