In general, I would say people’s systems getting bricked “all the time” is a bit hyperbolic.
I’m going to need to push back against that. I don’t believe I was being hyperbolic.
For the record, I said “semi-brick it”, and used that term specifically so thst I would not be hyperbolic. My point was that updates could go wrong and the OS would require repairing and was not usable until the repairs were done.
I keep reading over and over again in various places on the Internet that things break with some reoccurrence, and they have to be repaired, so I don’t believe I was being hyperbolic.
Perhaps you are being defensive?
If you read the various responses, including your own, to my comments you get people who are knowledgeable with it talking about learning how to repair it when something goes wrong, in a semi-defensive sort of way.
It doesn’t seem like a good choice for someone who just wants to use their computers a tool (to game, etc.) and not enjoy it as an OS hobby.
I don’t mean to be argumentative, but people who use this OS seem to have a very specific perspective about its ease of use that wouldn’t align in my honest opinion with people who use computers just as tools, and do not wish to take the time to be overly knowledgeable about their OS.
