windows quality has seemingly took a nosedive after 7 and never recovered. glad to have left.
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?
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
You use the wrong linux then.
Stability is why I use an atomic distro
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.

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
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

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)
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.
All of my computers are working just fine.
Same, thankfully 🫣
And the worst part is even if it succeeds you’re still running Windows.
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!
You guys still run Windows?!
You’d get more downvotes but their SSDs are all corrupted
