Hello,
Suppose you have a PC with 2 separate SSDs. One is an install of Windows 11. The other is an install of a Linux distro, encrypted at time of installation (for example, with LUKS). Obviously you would only boot into one or the other at a time.
So a dual-boot, but each boot portion is on its own SSD (not sure if this matters, but its a relevant scenario).
Can the Windows 11 portion somehow get through the Linux encryption and access / read data on the Linux portion?
Sorry if this is a stupid or obvious question.

No, that’s the whole point of using encryption. If the windows boatloader had a means of scanning the content of an encrypted file system, it would have already been exploited to circumvent encryption.
Thanks! That makes sense.
