Anecdote: my gaming laptop from 2022 doesn't work on Windows 10/11. It keeps hard crashing when stressed. On Linux, it's totally stable on identical workloads.

Personally, I don't see reason anymore for the existence of Windows. For a long time it held its ground as a gaming OS, but Steam/Proton has taken that final advantage from it.
- frzen 4y agoIs it an Alienware? From experience they have an unstable overclock from the factory which is applied by software not in the bios. I was pulling my hair out trying to diagnose crashes on a laptop for someone else. A bonus is if you install docker or WSL, the alienware control software could no longer turn off the overclock. So that whole time I thought there was no way it was overclocked because the option to overclock wasn't even visible in their software. it was a 2022 Alienware with a 12900k 64GB ddr5 and a 3080ti
- darthrupert 4y ago>Is it an Alienware? Asus Zephyr G14 with AMD insides. Could be that they are indeed overclocking it for some reason. I didn't seem to get it to be 100% stable even with removing some boosts et al. But that doesn't matter. On Linux I don't have to tweak anything, it just works. Which is amusing.
