Have you ever organized an event? Have you ever been at a event? Like what part isnt to get here? Installing a fresh OS while you do other stressful things or just other things which need your attention is a stupid move.

Then on top: Have you ever done something which you are inexperienced with while beeing distracted by other things which need your attention? While under time pressure. In what world isnt that detrimental to anything you want to do.

And yes i'd argue the chances of having the same outcome with a different OS is a lot higher with these circumstances UNLESS you have like 20 years of experience like he does with Windows.

And yet which of the issue he encountered had anything to do with him being distracted during the event? Can you point it out to me?

The part where you take a breather. Assess the situation. Try to find a solution. Ask for help in a forum or discord channel. You know things you do when encounter a problem with something you're not familiar with.

But i'm under the impression that you dont argue faithfully. So i'm going to fuck off.

He can't fix the issue though because its not something he did wrong its a fault with cosmic. He was cooked from the start because he made a bad choice and only someone familiar with linux would have seen it coming.

So you mean exactly what he's gonna do after the LAN party? So all I can see is that people are so quick to jump on his throat that they assume he's gonna end the experiment where the video ends. Got it.

So, despite the fact that I'm addressing your points properly, you're just gonna accuse me of not arguing faithfully for no reason at all?
