My crippled kernel count is around 6, how about yours?
I’ve been running different versions of Linux since 2011. My crippled kernel count is still zero to this day.
And that’s even after stripping it of the drivers I’ll never need, stripping it of the languages I’ll never need, and even rerouting all temporary files, internet cache, and even core OS log files to tmpfs and ramfs.
Yeah, try troubleshooting an OS with no log files after reboot. Yeah, I can do that, hella performance boost!
… So what should I try Linux again?
You mean why? Because you’re using your bare machine, you can use it as you wish. No nanny software limiting the fun or productivity
Yeah but breaking like six computers to do it, or one computer six times, seems like a pretty steep price for that when I basically just use my computer for gaming browsing and the occasional audio/video edit.
Nah, if you’re installing something user friendly (ie Linux Mint just for an example) it’ll work 1st time, guaranteed - or your money back.
But… you’ll only really learn once you’ve fubar’d something… just like falling off riding a bike
OP said breaking the kernel, not the machine. The computers would be fine, its pretty damn difficult to brick a computer using software, at least by accident.
Normal users will not break their kernel, op is likely doing some advanced tinkering. I have been using Linux for years and am definitely an advanced user and Ive broken my kernel zero times.
Knock Knock Knock.
We (Jehovah’s Witness) would like to know if you had a minute, so we could come inside, and talk to you about OUR Lord and Savior… Linux Mint.
Both, to the point it doesn’t boot, and just tweaking enough bugs that it’s easier to jist start over.
