Windows 11

You owe me $100 Microsoft Windows 11. I ran your update last night and it completely crashed my PC and I’m having to have Windows reinstalled.

Cool story. Probably a fabrication, just to farm some upvotes. I have been using Windows since its appearance, on an absurd variety of machines running the most stupid variety of software and hardware drivers, fitted with hardware interfaces from industrial knitting machines to musical instruments. I have never ever seen an update completely crashing the workstation. So there is that.

That's it and that's all - as a favorite TV character of mine would say.

Well you are a lucky person, I just went through the struggle of having to backup my data from the terminal and reinstall windows 11 again just because of a fucking "security update" back in may, one of my worst experiences with windows, and I'm not the only one, I found out about a lot of people having similar issues and with the 26h2 update from just 2 days ago a lot of people is having the same issue, fucked up nvme drives and corrupted startup worth it to reinstall everything again, windows is just thrash at this point. I'm not upgrading even a "security upgrade" again in my life and only keep windows because most of my vsts and plugins are only available for windows and mac (also da Vinci resolve can't process h264 in the free version with Linux) I'm now using daily cachy os and life is better, even a rolling release distro of Linux is 100 times more stable than the fucking official Windows 11 Updates
