Another glorious victory in the OS wars.
Worth noting my linux pc has never crashed out of nowhere on its own. Its usually immediately after i change something
Hardware problems like faulty RAM are a thing, though. Linux is good, but it is not magic. Not every crash is a software problem.
I once had a faulty cpu and windows denied booting. I was able to tell grub to load the kernel an run off of 3 instead of four cores.
I had that machine running another 2 years or so.
I had my first full freeze today. Ive been using mint for months now. I think steam was having a meltdown but, I also had a finicky program running in bottles and my computer isn't top of the line so that was a lot of resource use lol.
