today I'm ruminating on why I never seem to have a lot of computer problems despite having an overly complicated setup. like, I know people who are constantly fighting with their computers all the time, or reinstalling windows every 3 months, and I'm just like...baffled, personally. what am I doing differently? should my computer be an asshole to me all the time? why does your software give you problems and not me? it makes it impossible for me to give advice

I was gonna comment on this post but my phone decided to give me Long Cohost so I'm taking this as a sign

my cohost isn't stretched anynore so:

the weird thing for me is that I'm running some objectively Weird shit like a hackintosh that really doesn't want to exist and a 24tb zpool on a USB disk shelf that's passed through into a hyperv vm but the only stuff that ever gives me trouble is the completely mundane stuff like my windows install that I only use for gaming or a bone stock android phone

as someone still using Windows 7, it's probably because you, like me, know your machine well enough to have a setup that works so well for you that the only way it could go wrong is if something was added or removed.

One time some RGB keyboard configuration software from EVGA fucked up Windows SO badly for me that I couldn't even fix it, I HAD to reinstall.
i would run win10 or some flavor of linux but neither have proper drivers for my GPU yet. Nvidia. Go figure..
