Unfortunately Linux has tons of them nowadays. Google, Amazon, Microsoft are three of them that I know. And not just in kernel, but they also contribute in other projects in the ecosystem.

I remember this because Bill Gates was literally the richest person at the time but lost his position due to lawsuits like this.

I know. I am a Linux enthusiast myself. After Sadya got in the position, Microsoft suddenly became to get interested in Linux, contributing to projects and even funding them. But to this day, I still do not trust them.

My memory might be weak on this topic but Microsoft has already went through a lawsuit due to not allowing people to use other browsers. And that case made Bill Gates lose money.

OK my bad. It wasn't Steam statistics, but another statistics for overall Linux desktop usageon statcounter

I unplugged SATA cables last night, booted from Windows USB to install it, SSD disconnected again mid course :) SSD is disconnected somehow and if it happens in OS installed on, it causes crash. On USB, there is no crash. It's not HDD, not memory or cpu, not SSD (it's brand new already). I'm down to motherboard at this point.

It's 1 year old, still has warranty. 800 watt gold+. It had no problems so far. I thought it might be the cause, but SSD seeming disconnected even after restart (not everytime) makes me think it's either SSD or motherboard. But still not sure of anything.

Memtests showed nothing. I also ran SSD check in BIOS settings, still nothing. I will try again. As of live Linux over USB, it's stable even with storage connected. I also have an installed system that may run to issues.

SSD's are m2. Could it be about hdd's?

Can you elaborate please?
