AFAIK, blue screen doesn’t mean kernel crash. Hell, windows crashing isn’t even rare.

Certification doesn’t mean it has Microsoft seal of approval either, only that it comes from a certified and approved vendor, with some checks at best.

Config files are not part of the driver, ever. How do you think you can change the settings of you GPU without asking Microsoft?

But hey, if you are so willing to blame Microsoft for the one time it’s not their fault, may I talk to you about our Lord Savior Linux? In my office we only knew because of the memes.
