I think this is a GPT generated text lol



For context this was the original comment:

> No offence, but will installing this on "Windows 10" lead to any instability. Can I uninstall it without breaking something. I ask because, I'm currently on my second desktop. Recently bought after my eight-year old Linux desktop gave up the ghost.

> As I said, I bought a new PC intending to put Linux on it. On the first, trying to enable boot-from-usb, to create a recovery image. Couldn't enter the bios. After enable safe-mode in Windows, I ended up with a black screen. Because certain combinations of graphic card, monitor and UEFI are incompatible. You might think all I need to do is reboot, but no, the recovery utility puts the PC in permanent safe-mode.

> On the second PC, I tried to enable usb boot in the UEFI but ended up with "corrupt bios". So now I don't dare touch it for fear of ending up with a black-box again. How the f*ck can they design a combination of Windows and the BIOS that there is no way of recovering from a bad configuration. I never had such problens on my eight year old PC. There was no way to break the BIOS with a few key combinations. I tried reading-up on UEFI, seems to be an excercise in confusion. Sorry for the rant.


I've been seeing people claim this a lot recently and I rolled my eyes.

But then I saw their latest comment and you're absolutely right ahah. Good call
