    Nah, but there were some Linux evangelists claiming this couldn’t possibly happen to Linux and it only happened to Windows because Windows is bad. And it was your own fault for getting this BSOD if you’re still running Windows.

    And sure, Windows bad and all, but this one wasn’t really Microsofts fault.

      The sane ones of us know well that a faulty driver is a faulty driver, but! Linux culture is different. Which is why this happened so spectacularly with Windows. EDIT: and not with Linux

        I’ve had the proprietary Nvidia driver crash my whole system a few times. Hoping their new open-source driver (not nouveau, I mean the new out-of-tree open-source one) is better.

          I had X crash due to Nvidia under FreeBSD a few times, and fewer kernel panics due to it. Never used Linux with Nvidia though.

        Yeah, it supports kernel modules, so is also vulnerable to bad third party kernel code.

          🤔if nobody makes a third party kernel module, then there is still no risk
