    I legit don’t understand how people are even using windows anymore these days. For the first time in years i did a bare metal install because my dumbass wanted to play gta online, which now has anticheat, so i decided to dualboot. First attempt to install the installer completely shit itself and the screen went black, could not recover from it. Even a full reboot did not resume the install process, so i had to run the install all over again. Now that it’s finally installed i keep having weird issues with my rgb and fan control software randomly deciding to not autostart, and manually starting them does not work, or my fans just start spinning at max speed uncontrollably, and the only way to fix it is to do a reboot. Windows 11 has been out for years now right? It still feels like beta quality software, shit just keeps breaking, and then people have the gall to say windows just works lol.

      For my last install I had to remove either the SSDs or NVMEs (don’t remember which) or the installation would just fail. This was a ‘known’ issue! Fortunately haven’t had to boot it for months…

    I cannot believe he still has a channel worth anything. I think LTT favs might actually be worse than Swift8es

    For ultimative noops. Fedora Atomic. You can’t do much wrong. Only problem is that adding missing driver need some terminal experience , but tell me where it is easy to add missing driver…without catching a virus

      Uhh… Unless it’s 1993 again install drivers on windows is automatic in 99% of cases and catching a virus from install drivers would honestly be a feat of Herculean impressiveness.

      So that would be easier honestly.

      Like the only time it’s easier to install a driver compared to windows is if it comes preinstalled with the kernel/os.

      It’s one of the few things windows does really REALLY well.

      The problem with drivers on windows nowadays is uninstalling them cleanly is near impossible. Damn well near impossible. But most people rarely need to uninstall a driver.

        As you mentioned, 99% I had in the last month two devices , one from 2014 and one from 2024. The 2014 laptop had minimal missing driver problems on windows 10 that took me a while to find and fix, except for one driver that still is missing. The 2024 laptop that I wanted to reinstall windows 11, did not like it when you USB boot windows 11. It had missing drivers for everything, Network, GPU, Mouse Trackpad, the installer also prompted for Driver CD input, like , what??? I had to repair the installed windows instead, don’t know why this happened.

      I had the missing driver issue with my scanner, so I layered. But the scanner program was flatpak and couldn’t somehow access the drivers still. Had to layer it too.

      Not hard, but very unintuitive.

      In short, good for 95%, very challenging for some others.

      I have a few users on fedora atomic distros. Found out one hadn’t been getting updated since version 36 for some reason lately.
