• The sad truth about LInux: it only boots 80% of the time

    "I have 5 different [Linux] computers, and on any given random reboot, 1
    out of 5 of these won't boot. That's a 20% failure rate. Its been a 20%
    failure rate for over 6 years now."

    But don't call it hobbyware...


    (I know, I know: that's from 2015 and all the shitware has been fixed
    since then and the boot success rate is now GREATER THAN 100%)

    Update: 2 February 2023 - All I want is a system that boots

    "WTF? Am I hallucinating? Did I do that? How the heck did that happen? Did
    I really do that? This seems to prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that
    I must have done something really really dumb. And forgotten about it. Did
    not even write it down in my sysadmin notes! Must of been a 3AM punch-
    drunk and hallucinating. What other possible explanation could there be? I guess I did something truly moronic, and now I am paying for it. Woe is
    me."
