Most people don’t have this issue. You are only reading about the less than 1%. Per usual, everything posted her is overblown and the linux trolls feed on it.
Comment on Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data

God damn, after ~20 years of being off Windows reading about problem after problem on each and every update is exhausting.
How do you all (Windows users) deal with this shit?

Wait 3 weeks before applying updates instead of being a guinea pig. It’s usually enough time for things like this to be caught and withdrawn by MS.

I delayed the 24h2 update as long as Windows physically let me which was like a month or two I think? After that delay ended my only option was to download cause it was popping up in an intrusive way every single hour… God I hate windows so much.

This is the first Windows update that has significantly altered how my daily driver laptop works (read: for the worse).
It’s too inconvenient to use a Windows computer anymore. I’m switching to Linux

Because I haven’t had these issues in 20+ years? 🤡

Same way as I do on Linux. There was a post a few weeks back about an Arch update breaking vlc if you don’t manually install a new optional dependency after an update split the package.

Arch has always broke. Arch will always break.

Whatever doesn’t break makes us stronger (at using the Archwiki)

Haven’t updated to windows 11 yet and probably won’t. Just gonna wait until I can afford a new PC then learn how to install Linux
dubyakay@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
There’s nothing to learn. Mint and Fedora were click click done.
HalifaxJones@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Ya I’ve heard this before! I’ve also heard there is still a lot of problem solving to learn for maintenance and some problems that often arise. But haven’t taken the time yet to familiarize myself with it.

Crying, sniffling, more crying, over eating, crying some more, and existential dread. Then I go to work and pretend it will just magical go away, become delusional, go home, and start the process all over again.
I might need therapy.

I’ve never had an issue of this gravity on Windows. I use Linux and it has its issues as well. Stability is not why I use Linux lmao
psycho_driver@lemmy.world 1 day ago
You use the wrong linux then.
macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.world 1 day ago
No, they all have their issues. That is the very definition of linux.

In what way? The most stable Linux is far better than what Microsoft could yank out of their AI asses. Debian and Red Hat has been the staple of many servers around the globe. Hell, this Lemmy instance might be on one of those.
It’s only when you tinker around too hard and fast then you have problems in Linux. But there are ways to get things back on track easily compared to Windows.
psycho_driver@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I usually restart my gentoo machines when I move or once every couple of years when I update them. Debian stable is pretty similar.
Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
The amazing thing about Linux is there are distros for any purpose. If you want stability there are distros focused on that. Yeah, the popular ones are often bleeding edge, or near bleeding edge, but you don’t have to use one that’s using the latest updates.
nekbardrun@lemmy.world 1 day ago
as far as I know, Debian is the “gold standard” for stable linux to the point of being one of the most famous distros used on servers as well.
Exceptions are using unstable/testing versions of debian or accounting for an windows program to just work perfectly under wine (but that is a microsoft-linux integration which MS almost always wants to not happen)

Stability is why I use an atomic distro
