    My 10+ year arch installation is certainly more reliable than my prior windows installation that would randomly decide that the registry is borked and won’t boot at all, for no apparent reason.

      Must have had bad luck! I mean I’ve fixed many a Windows computer in my time so I know it’s not perfect, but I guess my expertise helps me avoid a lot of the pitfalls of Windows by not loading up all kinds of dodgy software.

      Linux though will break when you do everything right, and that’s what gets me every time.

        Must have had bad luck! I mean I’ve fixed many a Linux computer in my time so I know it’s not perfect, but I guess my expertise helps me avoid a lot of the pitfalls of Linux by generally reading the fucking manual and understanding what I’m doing.

        Windows though will break and also install bullshit updates and reset your settings when you do everything right, and that’s what gets me every time.
