Windows broken: shit need to reinstall

    Although you can't fix it easily sometimes, you've got full kernel access with Linux so that's pre :P

    Believe me, Linux can be broken in such subtle ways, you'll WANT to reinstall 😛

    @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

    😊 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)

    I'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..

    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. 😡

    @LinusCDE never had that happen on Windows, only Linux 😂
