Corrupter
Linux corrupts your BIOS. Brilliant stuff.
One example of why I use Debian instead of Ubuntu.
Probably a good point, but I hope you'll understand why some people
might be reluctant to use Linux in general as a result of news like
this.
'news like this' meaning that one particular Linux distribution has an
issue with their most recent release? I guess MS never had a problem with
an initial release of any windows version.
Can you recall Windows being responsible for corrupting a BIOS, sinec
Windows 1.0?
Does this count, twitboy:
'Windows 10 corrupted my BIOS'
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-performance-winpc/windows-10-corrupted-my-bios/0a7e5acb-78b7-43be-87e9-f24aedefb4be
How about this:
'Windows10 auto-update just corrupted my DVD player, then my bios'
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-update-winpc/windows10-auto-update-just-corrupted-my-dvd-player/1d9bbcc4-c146-4cc4-b0ec-af48dad1c1ba
Or this:
'After windows update my BIOS is corrupted and system will not boot '
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/after-windows-update-my-bios-is-corrupted-and/d3da6560-bc52-4da3-9c51-4ccb675207f9
They do and I'm glad that you posted them.
