 Testing extensively at $DAYJOB. Will report back shortly. If it's on a
 dual boot system with one specified boot disk I can tell you for sure it
 will undoubtedly bork grub, just as it always has by helpfully
 overwriting it. A live installer/chroot grub reinstall will be required
 as per normal.

 You can actually work around this now with UEFI+secure boot by creating
 individual signed EFI loader entries.

I have no UEFI stuff due to its inherent insecurity.

Read this and decided to stick with Win7 for my gaming box for the foreseeable future,

Hopefully Valve will come up with a decent Linux based gaming solution soon.
