who the fuck think it’s a good idea to push bios update via windows update?, it can’t even get video driver update right. Before you flaming me for using microslop windows this is my brother laptop not mine

    I had windows update recently, but apparently the update failed at some point… Which windows decided to ignore all my other backups and go with a 3 year old on, deleting 3 years of my data overnight.

    Fuck Microsoft, I’ll never wander back to Windows, I’ve had some issues with getting Linux going for 1 or two things, beyond that it has been a night and day difference. My system just works and my shit hasn’t disappeared (well, 1 failed install, but I don’t speak of that 🤪).

    Linux is the only path I see forward anymore

      I feel your pain.

      I now keep my data backup separate to the OS backups, so a rollback might time travel me back 3 years, but my data’s safe… elsewhere…

      (Sure. I might still have to do a restore…)
