    I can’t afford a broken system anytime and that’s why i can’t use linux. It breaks when you least expect.

        The only thing I ever had consistently break on me on Windows was the search indexing running constantly and eating up all my resources. Easy enough to turn that off, but then you can’t search files. I switched because I don’t like corpos. Just curious what happened with your system to make you ditch it.

          The system would intermittently just hard crash. I suspect it was a GPU driver issue (the Radeon RX 5700XT had notoriously unreliable Windows drivers for a while).

      In my experience Windows takes way more troubleshooting and time debugging and fixing things than linux does. Theres a reason people use linux for critical servers, it tends to be extremely reliable once everything is set up.

        Not to mention is is very easy to automate. You can deploy thousands of servers with a button and delete them all if you want.

      Try Silverblue or Kinoite. They’re designed such that if you find an update breaks something, you can literally revert to the version before that update with a reboot. Application distribution through flatpaks offers pre-configured environments so it’s not a pain to get stuff running. Toolbox lets you dick around in isolation from the system. You’d really have to go out of your way to break something. Great stuff.

      Funnily enough I could say the same about Windows

      That thing has broken itself more times than I can count but my 2 linux machines (I still have 1 Windows machine) have been rock solid for 2 years now

      The most only reason I have the last Windows machine is because I’ve been lazy about switching it lol
