KB5077181 was released about a month ago as part of the February Patch Tuesday rollout. When the update first arrived, users reported a wide range of problems, including boot loops, login errors, and installation issues.

Microsoft has now acknowledged another problem linked to the same update. Some affected users see the message “C:\ is not accessible – Access denied” when trying to open the system drive.

It's not so much Linux fanboyism as it is Windows (whatever the total polar opposite of fanboyism is)

The only good argument for Windows is specific software compatibility. If there were equivalent solutions on both for everything, it is an absolute truth that Windows is worse.

That is not an opinion, outside of intentionally wanting to be commercially oppressed.

Also games access to your kernel just screams to me "I wanna have fun and don't care about security at all, now gimme my fortnite vbux mom" in the most middle-school voice possible.

Wow, how quickly people forget....

Back in 2011, with kernel 2.8.x, gaming on Linux was nothing like it is today, it required dedication, skills and time.

And at the time I didn't have the energy to deal with it.
