That, or Google results and Microsoft’s own forum posts are lying. Along with several other threads, videos, and examples. Which i very much douvt is the case here.
Ooof. That thread is actually a gold mine for linuxboys ahaha, My bricking-my-linux-jar got like 10 coins over the last 25 years. holy shit he bricks his PC around every 2 and a half years, that is actually bad, I’ve had windows installs for at least 5 years easily, I only reinstall with new SSDs.
Everything was going fine, until I executed this command:
efibootmgr -c -g -d /dev/sdX -p Y -w -L “Arch Linux (rEFInd)” -l ‘\EFI\arch\refind\refindx64.efi’
Like of course if the OS you’re using has you summon a fucking demon then yeah it’s a bad OS
Qoute: “PC bricked issue often occurs, especially you have installed a Windows 10 update. When searching for “bricked computer” in Google, there are many forums on this topic…Well then, how can you fix the bricked computer in Windows 10/8/7 if the brick is caused by the operating system itself (soft brick)?”
“I think its important to point out that Windows has been forcing updates on me that just bluescreen me. Once i blue screen it resets the system to its original config and it boots normally. When asked to schedule a time for the update, I chose 4/27. Sure enough after that, cant boot once.”
First comment: “This is related to Windows 11, everyone is facing the same issue right now. It seems to be due to an expiring certificate.”
And we can keep going. Microsoft can screw up and ship an update that bricks your hardware. It’s happened before, and will continue to happen again. (And just so we’re clear: Ubuntu, Red Hat or other Linux maintainers, and even Apple with their products, are not exempt from this either. They’re also human and can mess up. But we’re not talking about Linux or Mac, we’re talking about Windows sometimes bricking itself, so they’re irrelevant to this conversation) Why you’re so adamant on denying it ever happens on Windows even tho evidence is a search away and instead paint it as solely a Linux problem is beyond me
His other comments seem to imply that since it didn’t happen to them, it doesn’t happen on Windows period. That’s just rejecting reality.
I’ve never protrayed Windows as overly terrible in my comments in this thread…or at least, I didn’t mean to if it came out that way (i stand with it being a hassle to actually get it installed tho. Had to jump through so many hoops just for it to pick up the only drive plugged into my PC and recognize “oh hey, it’s a valid drive”. And this was Win10, not 11 either). Windows as an OS is fine, and has its own problems and quirks just like every other OS in existance does. If anything my problem with it comes from Microsoft basically going “no, you’re going to use the OS you paid a liscene for how we say” and them (I assume it’s them, anyways) reverting several of the changes I made to my settings with updates + it being so heavy to install–to where laptops and such that CAN’T handle it still come shipped with it by default despite preforming horribly because of it. But i never brought any of those up, just the fact that one of those updates messed up my install so bad I had to do a re-install, and it was annoying to actually do. I didn’t call it a devil worship machine or whatever the heck the other guy keeps calling Linux lol
We both can, which is why I thought it was weird you brought it up in the first place. Someone said on an internet forum something so it must be true, you probably read that linux is good and actually believed it lmao, look at you defending your bad decision by grasping for straws here.
Me neither
Oh

Okay done googling now but oh damn that’s a goldmine, thanks for pointing me to that direction, it does prove a point. My point.
Still doesn’t disprove my point that Windows bricking itself is a thing that happens:

My friend all he is saying is that Windows doesn’t brick itself as a rule, not that it doesn’t happen.
You’re both being pretty biased. Windows isn’t as terrible as you portray nor Linux as bad as he does.
Obviously Linux wins overall though ;)
