Do not. Use. Mint.
That shit bricked my computer for 3 years as a teen with an unpatched bug that impossible to ever download any file to my PC again, including any potential fixes. Spent months on stackexchange forums. No solution lol
Windows has yet to screw me over that hard. (Yet.)
I'll take things that didn't happen for 500
Around what year was this issue? Both windows and Linux were pretty unstable until - someone correct me on this - 2012? Windows 8 was the last unrecoverable crash I had. Oddly never had an issue with Linux, but I know it happens, I've just been lucky.
You missed out on windows fucking up drivers for some SSDs a few months back. I had a MSI machine for a client that was unrecoverable on 11, and to re-install from scratch.
