    It’s only funny because it’s a blue screen(a very windows thing). Imagine what this will be like when a game inevitably pushes a bad kernel level anti cheat update.

      When such day comes, I hope prolitariat gamers will unite and push back against kernel-level bullshit

        I think a lot of people will have a bad day. Some will swear off PC gaming altogether and switch to console, others might look towards Linux thanks to a friend or a helpful individual online, and a small minority will understand the problem and actively avoid the companies that caused the problem.

        It probably won’t affect sales of the company involved too much sadly unless everyone point their fingers at the company in the news.

        Nuh-uh, I saw a Steam survey that said that less than two percent of computers use Linux!

        What do you mean by “the headless internet backbone servers, Android phones, and smart appliances don’t have Steam”?

          The latest steam survey says 2.08% use Linux.

          That’s more than 2%, I bet you feel pretty ridiculous now!

      Yup my personal and work machines were fine. That said I’m on W10 on both and once I can’t be on W10 anymore I’m hoping Linux has further matured for my needs so I don’t need W11 onwards. I’m around the Linux communities keeping tabs…!

    Does windows not have any reliable filesystem snapshot capabilities? Because as soon as I learned about this whole thing my first thought was just that it would be easy to fix just rollback to the snapshot before the update

          Wait did they not stop serving the broken release to clients even after they realized the problem? I guess I wouldn’t be surprised but wow that’s worse than I expected
