hide os

About this tag
The hide os tag covers discussions about concealing an operating system from the boot menu or user view, typically for privacy or security reasons. Topics include installing a second OS while keeping the original hidden, using boot configuration tools to hide entries, and methods to access a hidden OS only through specific actions. Users seek ways to prevent others from seeing or accessing a private OS installation on the same computer, often without relying on standard password protection. The tag reflects practical troubleshooting for multi-boot setups where one OS needs to remain invisible during normal startup.
