You see, hexbear has been moving towards :tux: for quite a while now and it's scaring the :LIB:s and the :fedposting:s so expect a lot of anti-Linux posting and just nod your head and don't engage :penguin-dance:

not my experience at all, literally never had a windows pc crash or have driver update problems, all my linux using friends are constantly having to deal with incompatibility or crashing. from my experience as the family/friend tech support, i genuinely think most pc problems in general are user error, on any operating system. i literally dont know how you can be getting a bsod per week, ibe seen maybe one in my entire life. and that was a hardware failure. i get an error maybe once a year or less. on a related note i switched to waterfox based on this comms suggestion and it crashes constantly, and cant even load youtube videos most times. never ever had chrome or edge crash.
edit: and to borrow your rhetorical trick, anyone who says otherwise must be intentionally misleading you.
I think it is hardware failure tbh. Machine is from 2014, ram doesn't match either.
My windows install is just a basic W10 edu license with various steam/epic games and a few ides for embedded stuff installed. Nothing crazy, no viruses. It just likes to shit the bed.
Conversely, I don't think ubuntu/arch notices or cares and will just carry on for weeks on end.
idk what an ide is but i just use the free w10 install and leave the activate windows text on to piss off ol bill hates. i did build all my pcs myself instead of using prebuilts or laptops, which may have helped. id be sus of an edu license honestly if its through school, in my experience school tech support barely knows what theyre doing at best and is filling it full of spyware at worst.
I called the Microsoft support line and played dumb, like I didn't understand why windows wouldn't activate. When they asked for my key, I gave them a random windows 7 key off the internet, and they gave me a free windows 10 key. It only took like five minutes.
Its not through a school account really, I just kept the license key after I graduated and tried it out when I upgraded from my previous windows install (W8.1 embedded)
Its basically a bit better than home and a bit worse than professional I think.
