A fucking PC that ACTUALLY has zero problems for however long I have it, its a mystical beast I have yet to come across
In my experience this most often comes from a failure to perform routine maintenance, and Windows being a bloated rotting whale, decaying on the beach, slowly expanding and spreading its horrid filth across the entire system. Give your computer a new life by cleaning out all the dust, reapplying thermal paste to the CPU, oiling fan bearings, and installing a lightweight Linux distro, or at least a fresh whale carcass (clean windows install).
scratch linux, same shit with a different coat of paint when it comes to my comment regarding not wanting problems
Corsair ONE i160 for more than 4 years running Ubuntu and pretty much zero problem since. Untouched, no mods, no hardware upgrade.
good for you (not sarcastic, honestly) 2 laptops and 2 pcs, several distros, fro m mint to endeavouros, never problemfree, once
totally understandable which is precisely why I'm sharing, it's sadly a surprising situation and I can't say if it's a trend, just sharing my personal experience.
also very understandable, i just wish i had your experience lol
