At least it boots.

I purchase a Surface Pro 8 a year ago or something, thinking Windows would surely work better than usual when it is Microsoft's own hardware too.

But no, yesterday it got stuck in a boot loop, after a Windows update broke the audio drivers somehow. The Windows logs/reliability report can just tell me it "shut down abnormally" without any technical details what so ever.

I still have to use Windows on my desktop because of Ableton, but I'll never purchase any Microsoft hardware again, and as soon as I can, I'll run Ableton on Linux like the rest of my software.

Tbf I've had the same thing with macos doing stuff like randomly recreating my keychain on login and other weirdness.

As a developer really I can work on Linux or Windows or macos. Long as I'm getting paid. Tools in the toolbox.
