The root cause behind why Windows 11 24H2 appeared to be breaking NVMe SSDs may have finally been found.
The problem was Windows duh.

Yeah, this wouldn’t happen on Linux because it’s impossible to install most firmware updates!

Every Windows 11 wreaked SSD is an opportunity to try Mint, Fedora, you name it … and maybe enjoy something different

Its ethier Linux or apple and at this point for most users and I think ethier is a better option than windows 11.

Using windows is just so tiring. I shouldn’t have to actively fight with the OS to do the things I need to do. Not even power user shit, it’s just that the windows experience gets more and more hostile every year.
Meanwhile, Linux quietly does what needs to be done, and offers to make it even easier to do those things, but only if I want that help.

Oh my god, this.
I spent the whole morning on my day off fighting with my kids’ windows install.
“when I open rope locks and I open chrome at the same time if everything just lags and stutters.” " I think it’s because Chrome is using 30% of my memory up when I open it. Can you help me fix it?"
What started as a educational how things actually work, what matters, what doesn’t matter, quickly evolved into why in the fuck can’t I uninstall Adobe Creative Cloud. Followed by looking up a dozen services I’ve never seen before which are apparently part of Windows now, but have names like corporate products that don’t have anything to do with Windows.
I showed him the start-up and the task scheduler and all the little bits and bobs for things to detect what’s happening. Showed him how to look through the task manager list. Uninstall the stuff that isn’t necessary, reboot, and check again.
Fucking creative Cloud would not uninstall. Hit uninstall. App opens to update. No option but to update.
I’m trying not to go in bull in a china shop because it’s a teaching moment. We search, find to delete the program data and try again. It unlocked it enough that I could log into it, then uninstall. Why the ever-living fuck would you have to log into the app to uninstall it?
We installed sea ccleaner afterwards. And did some cleanup. I did Linux on the desktop for 14 years. Went back to Windows for a few years and dropped back in for NixOS for the past couple of years and God I hate dealing with windows now…

I genuinely don’t understand what you have trouble with that you had to fight with. Usually I’ve found it comes down to just not knowing how to do it, or doing something completely out of left field. Honestly Windows “just works”

This.
And I didn’t even realize just how exhausting it had gotten until I switched and, even with having to relearn how to do certain things, just never felt like I was having to fight with it. It doesn’t change things and move things around on you at random, it doesn’t pester you constantly to do things unless you explicitly set it up to do so, doesn’t shove an online account down your throat, force you to accept updates on their schedule including reboots when you’re trying to get something done…
No, my machine is my machine and it does what I need and tell it to do, not what some multi trillion dollar company thinks it should do.

Been there, done that.
Fix the shitty, half-assed HDR support first, then I’ll switch. It’s bare-bones and barely functional in Linux. On Windows you can even convert SDR YouTube videos to HDR in real time, right within Firefox. Linux doesn’t have anything like that yet.

How do you “convert” content to HDR? You have to generate something that doesn’t exist.
Did you pay 2 grand for a high-contrast mode?

I’m genuinely curious:
What are you doing on your PC that HDR is such a dealbreaker? I can’t remember anyone I’ve spoken to about it even giving a shit that HDR is available on anything other than their TVs
Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
I can’t understand where something so trivial and minor like hdr would be more important than not having copilot and one drive shoved down your throat. Personally if I never had any hdr features I wouldn’t bat an eye. Not saying you don’t have a point.

It’s a little funny that windows 10 had a massive bug with 100% disk usage with hdd’s. There were “fixes” out there, but they would stop working after awhile. They wanted to make people upgrade their PC back then too.

TLDR: Pre-release / experimental drove controller firmware. Do your updates.
laurelraven@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
I already did update, to Linux. Haven’t run into those kinds of issues since.
