    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

      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 It’s usually enough time for things like this to be caught and withdrawn by MS.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

          Ya I’ve heard this before! I’ve also heard there is still a lot of problem solving to learn for maintenance and some problems that often arise. But haven’t taken the time yet to familiarize myself with it.

      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

        as far as I know, Debian is the “gold standard” for stable linux to the point of being one of the most famous distros used on servers as well.

        Exceptions are using unstable/testing versions of debian or accounting for an windows program to just work perfectly under wine (but that is a microsoft-linux integration which MS almost always wants to not happen)

        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”

      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.

      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.
