Welp, Windows 11 is going to make me quit my sysadmin job of 15+ years, after all. I already refuse to use it at home but have no options at work. Bet dollars to donuts this was some sort of vibe coder AI fuck up we’ll never be able to confirm.
Again, why are people paying money for this bullshit?
This is just normal and on par for Microsoft. When was the last time they didn’t fix a security issue because they didn’t wanted the bad publicity, causing the US government to be hacked?
Oohh, we will never do it again, pinky promise!
Microsoft’s evil but oh my fucking god, they’re so incompetent that they can’t even be evil without fucking shit up
Install Linux already,.be done with the nonsense
Every thread has one Linux bro, stumbling around dazed and confused, still searching to understand why people use a different OS. Always asking “Why do people even use that?” Ignorant of the litany of reasons the real world behaves the way it does.
Windows sucks, in a lot of ways, we get it. But holy hell find a different schrick.
Just the one? You block the rest already?
There’s a lot more than one of us here, “bro”
Edit: Windows is trash. Fuck Microsoft.
This was the push I needed to get off Windows completely. Some update broke Bluetooth connectivity. It’s penguins all the way down for me now.
windows quality has seemingly took a nosedive after 7 and never recovered. glad to have left.
If windows 7 was still supported it would be my go to for the rare “I need windows” moments. Windows 11 seems sluggish to me
windows 11 is just ridiculous. it’s slow even on state of the art computers, takes 6-8gb of ram just to idle on the damn desktop.
I got my father onto Linux a while ago and the first thing he commented on was how snappy the whole system was
Same thing for one of my grandparents.
Yeah I remember when Linux Update did this . . . oh wait, no I don’t.
Oh look a whole new reason to avoid windows 11.
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?
This is the first Windows update that has significantly altered how my daily driver laptop works (read: for the worse).
It’s too inconvenient to use a Windows computer anymore. I’m switching to Linux
By not using newest microsoft stuff. I’m always few years late to their next windows.
Wait 3 weeks before applying updates and let other people be the guinea pigs. It’s usually enough time for things like this to be caught and withdrawn by MS.
Haven’t updated to windows 11 yet and probably won’t. Just gonna wait until I can afford a new PC then learn how to install Linux
There’s nothing to learn. Mint and Fedora were click click done.
Because I haven’t had these issues in 20+ years? 🤡
Most people don’t have this issue. You are only reading about the less than 1%. Per usual, everything posted her is overblown and the linux trolls feed on it.
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
Perhaps not stability, but certainly the ability to understand a problem and fix things is why I use Linux. On Windows or MacOS you just get “Oops, something unexpected happened”, or if youre lucky “Error -2847”.
On linux you can read the journalctl or have a poke in /var/log/ and actually find an answer that’s more helpful than “reinstall the operating system / program”
Stability is why I use an atomic distro
You use the wrong linux then.
No, they all have their issues. That is the very definition of linux.
I usually restart my gentoo machines when I move or once every couple of years when I update them. Debian stable is pretty similar.
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.
Arch has always broke. Arch will always break.
Whatever doesn’t break makes us stronger (at using the Archwiki)
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.

Just vibecoding a kernel module, nothing out of the ordinary at Microsoft.
I am using three drives on that list. Uninstalled KB5063878 and blocked updates for over a month.
I’m using several of them too, but the update refuses to uninstall. Oh well, fingers crossed eh? Thanks Microsoft.
Hmm, mine uninstalled without issue but I haven’t yet fully rebooted. Might still get an error at that point. Fingers crossed.
EDIT: reboot completed without issue. Guess I’ve been lucky. My main drive is not one of the affected ones and I didn’t write anything noteworthy to the affected ones when the update was installed, so should be all good from here out.
Ouch. Glad I don’t run Windows 11…
I was able to roll-back this update. But my computer is still running Windows. Help!
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
hyprland
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
Imo plasma settings/options can be a bit overwhelming, cinnamon can be underwhelming lol, as a former cydia user, I really like toggleable extensions with indidual settings that can be as complex/basic as they need to be.
My main issue with plasma is I cant stop tinkering with my theme/ui because the settings are so easily accesible. I get distracted easily. Gnome with a few curated extensions helps me focus, realized on accident using it because davinci resolve had issues on kde plasma using the global menu (didn’t resolve after removing the menu)
I thought I was the only one who found KDE to be far TOO customizable. I used GNOME on openSUSE and actually enjoyed it. Used KDE on PoP! and hated it. Of course, the distro may have played a part in that. PoP never seemed to run right on my dual gfx Yoga 720. Using Cinnamon with Mint on it and I like it, but agree with a lack of all desired customization options. I can do about 90% of the tweaks I like to make.
I’ve never heard of cydia, though. Of course I’m like a 110yo on Windows when it comes to Linux usage. I couldn’t even get openSUSE to reinstall from a flash drive after testing some other distros. Kept getting out of memory when it would attempt to install. I do think it was my favorite flavor of all the ones I tried!
What does NG Lv 1 mean?
I’ve read in another article that NG Lv 1 means that the drive is recoverable and NG Lv 2 that the drive is unrecoverable.
NG Lv 3 means you no longer have a computer.
I don’t understand. writing large amount of data at once breaks nand controller? and how that’s an os issue?
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
os updates write large amount of data to disk at once. especially a highly bloated os like modern windows. whatever the trigger, it’s still faulty nand controller. you can very well cooy a 20G file and see disk is corrupted.
That’s a good point on how the OS could be “causing” it. I don’t think my take was very likely after I thought about it for a while.
All of my computers are working just fine.
Is your drive 60% or more full and have you tried to transfer something 50gb or larger? From what I saw, those are some of the triggers.
Same, thankfully 🫣
And the worst part is even if it succeeds you’re still running Windows.
