I f*cking hate windows(love/ hate abusive relationship for sure). All my installs fail or get corrupted. No matter how careful i am.
I keep nothing on the C: drive. All my data on separate drives. I backup my windows drive monthly in fear that my PC might decide to brick itself after a bad update or faulty shutdown.
As I type this,my desktop no longer booting and its been “attempting to repair windows” for 3hrs now. Good thing i made a backup on a separate drive 2 months ago, lol.
Anyone else here instinctively take measures to hedge against windows unreliability??
Yes, I install Linux.
More helpful advice, I separate my data from my machine (or at least I am working too). I should be able to reinstall my OS without altering or touching my data.
