No I'm not saying that at all. Here's some malware from a few years ago which only infected computers which had not been updated:

I'm now 3 months into ditching Windows, the only time I caved was so I could run AMD's product verification tool to get my free copy of Crimson Desert with my 9070 XT. Fedora 43 with KDE is at the very least no less stable than Windows 11 in its current state.

what video editor do you guys use?

Damn, how do people use that piece of shit?

Institutional inertia, battered wife syndrome and/or addiction to predatory online video games that make you install malware.

Can anyone give me some pointers on setting fallback order for USBs in efibootmgr?
I have a server that boots from a USB that is always plugged in, and what I would like is for the server - during boot - to check for another USB plugged into the front of the machine, and try to boot from that (a rescue USB that gets me SSH so I don't have to hook up a screen) and if it isn't there (which will be almost always) it boots from the USB in back.
What I'm not sure how to do is specify with efibootmgr which PCI hardware path is relevant to the boot entries I create. I know how to make them and order them, just not how to specify which USB I mean for each entry.
Anybody know how to do it?

all of my why

I started on Fedora with KDE just recently. Never again, it was a coin toss whether it would boot normally or into emergency mode. I don't know if I broke something or if it's just like that
