If you haven't tried gaming with Linux, time is good if your windows install just bricked itself.

My conclusion: If you want a stable computer then you should disable Windows updates: https://www.sordum.org/9470/windows-update-blocker-v1-8/

    For anyone reading this, this is terrible advice. The most important that you can do to keep your windows (if you insist on windows) computer secure is to keep it up to date.

    This applies for any operating system. Security flaws are constantly being discovered and the security updates are those flaws being fixed.

    It’s an older study but the thing security experts said was most important was installing security updates in a prompt manner.

    The thing non experts said was important was having an antivirus.

    All well and good, but every now and then we're abused by updates that remove features, or add something we didn't want.

    0patch does have an advantage there I guess.

    That’s where choosing a community driven operating system comes in. If the provider of the security patches abuses their position the answer is not to drop security. Rather switching providers is the solution.

    If your leg hurts amputate it...

    Updates are security features. If you plan to connect your computer to a network do not disable updates. If your os updates brakes your computer, change your os.
