ppl complain abt linux being buggy and then windows bugs will be something like

there’s a known issue where flumbus.dll (used for compatibility with microsoft crumpet 2004, also windows checks for this file on startup and if its not there windows will destroy itself) that causes it to email every single person who has a microsoft account a link to an easily browesable snapshot of your file system. This bug can be caused by:

  • Turning on your computer

in order to fix this you need to download JimTools.exe from jimtools.questionablysafeweb. site. be careful to use the version from july 17th 2003 and NOT THE VERSION FROM JULY 18th 2003 (which is when Jim (creator of JimTools) got bored and made jimtools send hitmen to your address). anyway once you’ve downloaded JimTools.exe, run JimTools.exe and press the button that says “I accept that Jim’s (creator of JimTools) ideas are infallible and if they do fail I agree that I will personally go to Jim’s house (address located in the letter you will receive shortly) and give him all of your belongings and bow down to Jim (creator of JimTools)”

Then restart your computer. Your wallpaper will have changed to a picture of Jim (creator of JimTools). Go to wherever you get your mail and grab the letter from Jim (creator of JimTools). Read it, and make sure to follow all the instructions carefully. Do not disobey Jim’s (creator of Jimtools) orders, or you will face his wrath

@badeline at least with Linux the bugs are usually consistent. in windows it's just "Oops, your networking stack is GONE because ?????, update Windows to fix it
how would you update it with a dead network stack and with your only other computer being a shitty phone with basically no storage? go fuck yourself in the ass.
this isn't even a hypothetical that literally happened to me back in like 2018-2019
@badeline oh and the wifi driver fucked itself at the same time. don't think that's what fucked the network stack because disabling the wifi card entirely and using ethernet didn't help
on Linux, of course, it just worked™
