On Linux I never had a BSOD into an unavoidable 40+ min update while I'm trying to finish something ASAP. I choose when to download updates, and when to install them.
Last time I saw a software related BSOD on my personal device was.... 10 years ago.
Hardware, obviously, happens, but that's not Windows at fault.
The longest time I had to wait for an update to finish was 20 minutes - since around Windows 10 dropped.
Seriously, it's like you guys still think Windows is what Windows ME used to be...
last time i had a BSOD was when i tried to execute the .msi installer for firefox on a fresh install
Did you use any debloaters before that?
nope. i started the fresh install, downloaded the install, double clicked, bsod. on the second try it worked
Yeah, everyone is an idiot but you, congratulations. We're all making shit up, our computers crash because we're noobs. Thank you for your contribution.
Pro-tip: clean install Windows, don't use any "debloaters", just uninstall the software you don't want, and leave it like that.
You'll enjoy a long and happy OS life.
Pro-tip: don't install Windows, don't use any "debloaters", just install Linux Mint
You'll enjoy a long and happy OS life.
That's a good tip too.
Although people really demonise Windows much more than it deserves (these days).
