I've been using Windows since after DOS with my C64, and MAC since around 1994. I'm currently on a new PC I built into a SFF case the Fractal Terra Jade running Win10. It's an i7-13700K processor with an Asus ROG RYUJIN III 360 AIO, 32GB RAM, 2TB NVME M.2 drive, and Nvidia 4070 Super FE video card. The processor was throttling from heat before installing the AIO, but I had to cut the case for the display to fit. I have an LG-40WP95-C curved monitor that's 5120x2160 resolution with Display Port. I love it all.



The CPU doesn't even reach 68 degrees Celsius when running Heaven stress test maxxed out! Although the FPS dips down to 30 at some points. No concerned at all!!

Back to the OP's post about bricking a computer - you could always reformat a drive and load an OS on it if you have the correct tools. I run WIN7 on my Dell XPS laptop from 2006 because I use it for work and need to connect to everything on the planet for configuration and programming.

If it aint broke, don't fix it!

MAC is great also for specific tasks. Do I think it's superior to Windows, yep, but not for everything. AutoCAD for instance is Windows. Savant is MAC. With the cost of a new Mac Mini, there's no reason not to have one!

Ohh and Linux is for Power Users and Geeks!!

I tried to use the translator on most of that but it came back with Greek or something. I'm surethere are people somewhere who have some idea what you were talking about
