Is that just a think people say or are there studies or books about this?

I used to search with site:reddit.com, but the quality of research results got much worse within the last years. For big investments like let's say a new washing machine I use a more or less independent website that tests different devices, it costs about 5€ to see the results.

All in all I need much, much more time to do research. Often I simply do not buy anything in the end. It is very frustrating.

I switched to Linux Mint, it helped as well!

  1. The search in the start menu searching the fucking web with bing instead of my computer
  2. Accidentally hitting F1 and Edge immediately opens with some "help"

The name says it all!

 

Now that we're a week in and most people have probably repaired their PCs from the shitty Windows Update breaking GRUB I have some question.

I have a dual boot as well and thought I was safe, as I installed my Linux Mint on an independent disk. My friend laughed and told me that won't protect me.

I logged into Windows some days ago as I had to write a document in MS Word for university and the windows update told me it was ready with a very threatening red dot in the tray. I expected it to take control over my PC and to reboot 10 times, do some typical Windows stuff, but nothing happened.

Now I have this update waiting and I am scared my Linux will break. I know there are fixes out there, but is there a way to prevent it BEFORE it happens? Can I somehow upgrade the vulnerable GRUB version?

Thanks a lot for your help my fellow penguin fans.
