I understand why people use different operating systems. Ill judge you for mac os but i kinda get it. I think slackware or something works for some use cases.

Windows is just ijsane though. You're insane for using it.

I've never seen my NVME go above 10% usage, so I'm not worried about it.

The amazing thing about Linux is there are distros for any purpose. If you want stability there are distros focused on that. Yeah, the popular ones are often bleeding edge, or near bleeding edge, but you don't have to use one that's using the latest updates.

I thought 10 was fine too, didn't like the new menu bullshit though. I use Arch by the way.

10 was the last windows version i dailied on my personal machine. the whole forced update fiasco had made me lose work, and was the writing on the wall for shitty things that came after.

Just update, find a script to repeatedly write a 50gb file filled with garbage, and pray it kills your drive.

I delayed the 24h2 update as long as Windows physically let me which was like a month or two I think? After that delay ended my only option was to download cause it was popping up in an intrusive way every single hour... God I hate windows so much.

Is this 100% an OS issue, or a hardware issue just being made apparent by the OS doing something weird?

I think I do but I'm not sure. I seem to remember some years back when a kernel version was released and due to a bug on either a driver or a filesystem, as soon as you started writing it would override the partition table or something like that

In what way? The most stable Linux is far better than what Microsoft could yank out of their AI asses. Debian and Red Hat has been the staple of many servers around the globe. Hell, this Lemmy instance might be on one of those.

It's only when you tinker around too hard and fast then you have problems in Linux. But there are ways to get things back on track easily compared to Windows.
