Fucking HP.

Windows
| well, for me it would probably be trying to get SLAX to both install and mount properly onto an sd card. It would just always corrupt itsself upon launching for the first time. I love linux, but damn when its fucky, its really /REALLY/ fucky. Ended up using an older version.
| hp bios sucks too

Currently using a core duo ddr2 2gb crap hp laptop. But becouse i put linux on it the battery lasts twice as long, boot time is 2sec(previously 5min) and everything runs buttery smooth except compiling programs with a lot of dependencies, core duos tend to have problems with that

I mean i did give a reason that applies to both in >>412819 it consumes a lot of power and is slow to boot and slow to function + now they barley test it so we get bugs that brick drives(ye that happened to ppls ssd becouse untested forced updates)
Its hard to customise and i find it more difficult to use or code on unless your coding something like a winform in C# VS.

It's more related to HDD brand rather than laptop brand. My m8 bought an Asus laptop and had HDD replaced like 4 times under warranty. Finally I convinced him to get a used thinkpad + SSD for like 2/3 of the price.

Installing Diagbox, a diagnostic software for french cars. You have to pull some arcane shit to even get the installer to work, let alone to make it detect the adapter.

Everyone knows a /tech/ post that has lived for more then 30min turns into a linux post
It's the right thing
| Trying to install Magisk and breaking the hole ROM and bootloader
| My worst experiences:
- Flashing a LG Smartphone (had to write some unknown russian/polish pre-bootloader on the device to make it work)
- DOS
- Adobe Flash
- shitty JavaScript code (67%)
- the rise of closed web-service-platforms
- Windows in general and Vista, Win8 and Win10 in particular
- Adobe Illustrator
- Microsoft office
- nvidia driver issues on linux
- stupid canonical projects (upstart, ubuntu one, unity desktop etc.)
- dependency issues in package managers

Which distro and when?drivers on linux are simpler then windows
And all that reminds me Internet Exsplorer horrid user exsperiance and literaly a developers hell

Debianoids and RHELOids, always if I want a fresh Version of something. Don't understand me wrong: of course a central package management with dependency tree and shared libraries is something great. But it'll be a lie to say it comes without problems. I think alot distros could learn from Arch Linux here. Pacman and the AUR are just great!
Drivers on linux systems maybe simpler than on windows, but it doesn't meant it's all super easy and without any problems.
| >>412562 Windows as well.
I have 2 drives so I was trying to dual boot Linux with Windows, but every time I installed Linux Windows would override GRUB giving me a damn GRUB rescue error. I finally fixed it by installing Xubuntu on a partition on the same drive as windows.
