One night our computers all decided to update without our consent as windows does. Everyone’s computer crashed and the updates and how they broke each system varied wildly.
My laptop got totally bricked. I mean I used windows recovery USB, a damn actual disk, tried every safe mode, bios, windows repair utility thing I could. Nothing.
I reinstalled Windows 11 completely. To my utter fuckong bewilderment it was STILL BROKEN. Could not get to the sign in menu even though I could reinstall the OS. I’d seriously never seen anything like this shit and I’ve been building PCs for 2 decades.
So I said fuck it, loaded Linux mint on to the laptop and just like that, I could get to a desktop again.
The really shocking part, everyone at my work used all the computers, so if someone was near my laptop and needed to get something done, they’d just take a seat and do the task.
It took 3 months for anyone there to realize I had even moved on from windows.
They all used Libreoffice and other pre installed software and our workflow literally did not change at all, if anything I spent less time fixing fucking windows.
Good riddance, I will NEVER go back to that horse shit. They don’t respect you and it’s on purpose.
The funniest thing happened at my work this year.
