And the worst part is even if it succeeds you're still running Windows.

Yep this is what the early adopters are for. Send those grunts in to get torched and maimed.

I was able to roll-back this update. But my computer is still running Windows. Help!

Just vibecoding a kernel module, nothing out of the ordinary at Microsoft.

Even though switching my laptop to Linux was a bit of a pain, especially for other family members, i didn’t regret it at all before. This just makes it even more reassuring as the right move.

Even the programs I had that rely on windoze I just run in wine or in a small vm.

If you can switch, do it!

In the article from yesterday, this was reported by one guy in Japan

God damn, after ~20 years of being off Windows reading about problem after problem on each and every update is exhausting.

How do you all (Windows users) deal with this shit?

You guys still run Windows?!

Start looking into desktop environments, everyones quick to suggest distros, but de imo is more what matters day to day, most distros just work and will help you grab the same stuff in different background ways and/or with different terminal commands.

They should all have de options or have community alternatives of them that come with a certain de like kde or gnome.

Close to windows, minimal customization (still more than default windows

Cinnamon

Iphone + cydia, opinionated base experience with extensions that can completely change the look and add stuff like panels/dock

gnome + extension store

Windows but ultra customizable, tons of settings and directly customizable from the ui itself by right clicking

kde plasma

Keyboard user, hand always on it, like shortcuts and code editor based customization with documentation

Crying, sniffling, more crying, over eating, crying some more, and existential dread. Then I go to work and pretend it will just magical go away, become delusional, go home, and start the process all over again.

I might need therapy.

I don't understand. writing large amount of data at once breaks nand controller? and how that's an os issue?

Same way as I do on Linux. There was a post a few weeks back about an Arch update breaking vlc if you don't manually install a new optional dependency after an update split the package.

I've never had an issue of this gravity on Windows. I use Linux and it has its issues as well. Stability is not why I use Linux lmao

Solid advice!

And remember that "DE hopping" is much easier than distro hopping, as you can install multiple and try them out without reinstalling your system.

Personally I'm a shill for Plasma, as I think that their motto "simple by default, powerful when needed" is very true. Out of the box, you get a grandma-ready UX that's pretty intuitive to any Windows or Mac user, but once you start to dig in there's so many "power user" features. Now every time I'm on a different system I instantly miss all the little QoL that I never even think about, and almost everything is neatly packaged in the system settings or context menus, without having to install extensions or set up a dozen different components

Maybe has something to do with making assumptions about how the nand controller is going to allocate things across superpages but that is a stupid random guess and also I have no idea why it’s an OS issue but boy do they keep finding ways

Oh look a whole new reason to avoid windows 11.
