everyone talks about how switching from Windows to Linux is overrated and in a lot of ways that's true if you don't care about computer

but even on my windows machine I have Linux installed. Why?

because when Windows crashes abruptly most of the software writing their own logs never seem to write what caused it to the logs and minidumps often aren't useful. but the logging story on Linux is very different, everything's constantly writing to the place most of the logs go.

this brought to you by me hating everything about Linux today but only because the logs let me get this far into the unbeaten path that I may have to write my own patch
