Blue screen of rule

Probably around 1gb, it was a few 3 minute videos for “talks about the important” which is mostly just Russian propaganda about how great the country is.

Early 90s, NT 3.1 was released in 93. By release date, nearly 31 years old. First version that a significant number of people actually used was 4.0, 96, and the first consumers used was 2000. Development started in 89, as OS/2 3.0, then still a joint project with IBM.

For comparison, the first public Linux version dates to 91, 1.0 to 94, though Unix of course goes back to 69. Practically the only other thing still surviving from that era are IBM mainframes. In CS terms both are prehistorical, you can tell by how papers from back then aren't typeset in TeX, worse, are usually scans. Yet they somehow had it all pretty much already figured out and we're now often re-discovering insights that they simply didn't have the hardware to implement back then. Not impossible to implement back then but here's a fun one. And a modern walk-through through the thing.

NT 3.1 was released in 1993. But sure, the kernel has been reworked a lot since then.

If I had a dollar for every kernal panic I’ve seen…

you might be able to spell kernel panic

I actually never recall seeing a kernel panic on fedora. Bugs that require a force restart to fix, which has the same effect as a kernel panic? Many times, but never an actual kernel panic.

One is made by a huge community and provided for free. The other is a proprietary blob sold in usability tiers.

I actually never recall seeing a kernel panic on fedora. Bugs that require a force restart to fix, and cannot be reliably reproduced? Many times, but never a kernel panic.

For me, it was 3 or 4 times on my personal system.

Sounds like a corrupted Windows install or some other Funk. I get stanning Linux, but that ain't normal windows behaviour.
