@breiter @thelinuxEXP Linux systems have bootloops too.

I imagine I can give you a one-line shell command that will make your computer unbootable. Does that mean it’s just pure incompetence from the kernel developers? Of course not.

@bouncing @breiter There’s a difference between “send me a script that wipes /“ and “a kernel module is faulty therefore you can’t boot anymore”.

@thelinuxEXP @breiter Is there? Surely a kernel module which, by law, “has the same access” as Microsoft’s first party ones, could make a system unbootable.

I’m not saying there’s not a bug that can be fixed but basically by definition, that whole rule is a security and reliability hole.
