Comment on Microsoft Is Abandoning Windows 10. Hackers Are Celebrating.

A few minutes later I started getting overheat warnings–I set the threshold very low; I like my stuff to last–I started getting hardware lag.
It turns out my graphics card updated, and the game fell back to integrated graphics while it was unavailable. The terminal code to switch it back without shutting anything down required touching too many things i dont like to touch unless I’m sober, and was really complicated, and I mistyped the one to restart, so I saved my game, and pressed the reset button on the case to make it better.
Linux is so broken.

Linux is so broken.
Then don’t break it?

No that’s the point. If I had been on windows my game would have just been interrupted and my computer unusable for an unknowable amount of time whenever it decided to update.
On Linux I had to be incredibly stupid lazy and high to get a result that was almost as bad–i still got to save my game.

If this is a joke, well done. If it’s a troll, please don’t. If it’s a true story of how you use computers, may God have mercy on your soul.
