Description

Image

The guide explains about copying Window's EFI binaries to CachyOS's ESP, despite the fact that it's implied beforehand that they should both be on one ESP:

"The EFI partition may need to be resized, depending on the recommended minimum size on the target boot manager. Refer to [Manual Partitioning](https://wiki.cachyos.org/installation/installation_on_root#manual-partitioning)"

2 ESPs on the same drive is also from what I know also against UEFI spec; I apologize if I'm misinformed

Research direction

Start with the “Dual Booting Windows and CachyOS” section and compare its systemd-boot instructions with the linked Manual Partitioning guidance. Verify how the guide describes the EFI partition arrangement and copying Windows EFI binaries. Done means the partitioning and bootloader instructions are consistent and no longer misleading.
