Although you can't fix it easily sometimes, you've got full kernel access with Linux so that's pre :P
-
@nbamaral yh, but if one little thing in Windows breaks you probably can't fix it. With Linux you can fix most problems, if you didn't destroy it on purpose

@Scrumplex
😊 I know what you meant. I've been tending both for a long of time.
I've seen linux installs crap in so many weird ways 😀 -
I actually tried fixing errors on Windows mashines:
Win 8: Mouse & Keyboard-Drivers broken
» BIOS didn't let me boot ANYTHING else
» Could not get into advanced boot / safe mode
» Dumped and replaced with a custom build with LM 18
Win 10: Update caused BOSD-Bootloop
» Safe-Mode not working 🤦
» Could not sys-recover because of problems with C-Drive (but it was working)
» chkdsk says C-Drive is fine
» Googled where to find logs but they didn't contain any kernel/driver-errors.
» Backed up data using LM-Lifedisk
» Affected person reinstalled Windows
Linux experience:
Arch: Power cut during update => Most programs no more working
» Checked logs: A lot of libs empty (0B)
» Installed Arch in VM along with all programs affected which could be generated with a script
» Grabbed Libs and replaced corrupt/empty ones with the ones of the VM
» Worked fine
Conclusion: Windows doesn't wants to get fixed. (Logs are useless there) -
Shisuki6037yI'm stuck with an unstable win10 right now and I KNOW it'll break (again) if I reboot and working on a laptop with no battery.
Too lazy to clean install and re-download most of my shit.. -
@Wallpaper
Thank you. I was wondering if I was the only one making images of pristine os with stable drivers.
I do it for Windows (one per brand), and tar.gz for linux, life is too short to reinstall and reupdate 😊 -
@Wallpaper When you actually need it, it'll say its already too much broken to do it.
Never count on that feature. 😡
