Wow this guy is really selling the AMD+Linux experience. Improved from 2 crashes per hour to once per 4 hours? Nobody I know would tolerate either of those.



He had the same problem in AMD+Windows. Things finally got better on a beta version of Windows.

If he hadn't been using Linux, the entire experience would have been completely mysterious. Microsoft releases an update and problems magically go away. Not much of a blog post and not much to understand. The blog post ends with a plea to make problems easier to diagnose and understand, not with a plea for corporate monopolies to fix our problems for us.


Yeah, Apple could run that post as an ad. It’s sad reading that and realizing that my 90s Debian desktop was _more_ stable.


Actually, a reason (of many) I switched from Apple to Windows was Apple's well-known audio drop-out fiasco caused by Apple's T2 security chip essentially hijacking data lanes when low-latency audio processing needed them. Here is an image of an audio capture of the T2 causing a hiccup:
