1) Installed Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 2) Upgraded to the proprietary NVIDIA drivers 3) Noticed a symbolic link issue with the NVIDIA drivers 4) Followed instructions to fix it from an Ubuntu group 5) The "fix" screwed everything up 6) Reinstalled the whole operating system out of a lack of interest for fixing the issue by hand (without deleting the two other partitions) 7) 10 minutes later, back to square one with all of the settings intact. 8) Awesome.

Ahahahahhahahah. Try Manjaro, you have proprietary there on install ;)

William Poaster
Don't worry, he'll screw that up as well.

Melzzzzz
Seems that he has lot of problems, yet he claims he installed Linux in 90es ;)

Hey, not long ago several of the "advocates" were whining Windows 10 kept bluescreening on them. Hey, Slimer included. LOL!

Melzzzzz
I never saw system crash on Windows 10, to be honest.

Snit
Thank you. Nor have I. This, of course, does not mean it never happens... but I think it is safe to say it happens on Windows, Linux, and macOS only rarely these days.

Melzzzzz
On Linux it happens with new kernels sometimes. If you stick to LTS kernel, not happens.

Other things can lead to kernel panics but, again, they are rare. I cannot think of the last time I have seen one... on Linux or macOS. I have had my macOS machine become effectively locked up though where I just force quit and rebooted... as I have with my Linux machine (though the Linux system I am running is from a USB Flash drive... still, have to reboot from time to time or it slows down and eventually stops responding).

-- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
