#53657 — Linux DESTROYS Computer Hardware

FromLinux-Warning Service <linuxwarningservice@safe.pc.org>
Date2019-02-07 18:31 -0600
SubjectLinux DESTROYS Computer Hardware
Message-ID<mejp5elf1b36lorio956b99vjp01t7go05@4ax.com>
If someone tells you to install Linux, they are your enemy and they want
to ruin your computer. DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM. Whether you have a brand
new computer, or and old clunker, if you want to ever use that computer
again, DO NOT INSTALL LINUX.

Linux damages and/or destroys computer hardware. It can and WILL ruin
your hard drives, memory, CPU, motherboard, flash drives, and other
components. It depends on the computer manufacturer, which components
are damaged, but regardless who made the computer, once Linux touches
your hardware, severe permanent hardware damage will occur. You will
never be able to use that computer again, for Windows or any other OS.
If Linux installs at all, you will be extremely disappointed by it. It
does little, has no compatible software, and you will become a slave to
repairing your computer forever. 

Linux is NOT an actual computer Operating System. It's just an
experimental pile of rubbish code which went awry and does nothing but
damage hardware, and make your life miserable.

DO NOT USE LINUX. DO NOT EVEN BOOT IT FROM A CD or FLASH DRIVE, BECAUSE
ANY AND ALL CONTACT WITH YOUR HARDWARE WILL PROVE DISASTEROUS.

Once again:
DO NOT USE LINUX.

DO NOT LISTEN TO PEOPLE OUT TO DO YOU HARM BY TELLING YOU TO USE LINUX.

I learned this the hard way. I lost hundreds of dollars of computer
hardware before I found out why. Numerous motheroards, CPU's memory
modules and drives were destroyed. Even brand new flash drives were
devoured by Linux, never to work again. Dont be a fool. Linux is the
most expensive "operating system". It ruins millions of dollars of
computer hardware every day, and ruins the lives of everyone who touches
it.

DO NOT USE LINUX.

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT USING LINUX.

Oh, free hardware... Would you like to send me those destroyed

I'll blame all my personal issues on my decision to use linux on 
nearly all of my machines. Thanks! :) That means, Linux is to blame 
for me being such an asshole.. er, no, wait, I was already an asshole 
long before I learned about linux... damnit.

Dang, and to think of all the web servers that are running Linux.  I 
guess we're going to see the world's Internet die soon then too.

I'll also have to shift back to Windows.... Dang it !!

  Or a misunderstanding. I think the OP has a

to chew on electronics. I figure, why not give
