I haven’t bricked my computer once running Linux and yet with Windows I have gotten the blue screen of death 3 times and lots of freezes.

I've nuked my bootloader entries a handful of times. I wouldn't trust a 12yo to know how to fix that. But maybe I'm not giving 12yos enough credit 🤷

Why the downvote tho? If lil guy wants to brick it, let him.

You’re using biased phrasing against Linux and no they will not brick their system.

Wow, right over your head dude. It's just the sentiment he is sharing.

If they're going to brick it, it won't be with Linux, but with a funky UEFI firmware. It's incredibly hard to brick a computer by installing an OS.
