Is Linux a virus that corrupts your hard drive? Because a computer

It corrupts your sanity and makes you a freetard. Just stick with Windows.

Computer repair man told me too that Windows 7 don't need updates because windows 7 have strongest security in history.

All these ransomware stories are made by Linux shill to convert people from Windows;

This shit wasn't funny even the first time

>>62283517
It actually happened though. The man really hates Linux and practically freaked out when I said I tried to install it.

>>62283490
yes, it fucks up NTFS partitions

>>62285206
This. Clearly whatever "repairman" this is, he forgot there is more than one file system.

So are you saying you tried to install linux, then had to call a computer repairman

>>62288616
Not only did it fail, it broke the Windows Boot Manager so I couldn't boot into any operating system.

>>62283490
Was this repair man Indian, by any chance?

>>62289612
II know he's foreign, not exactly sure which country he's from though. I don't think it's India.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux virus, is in fact, GNU/Linux virus, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux virus. Linux is not a virus unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU virus system made useful by the GNU virus corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full virus as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU virus system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU virus which is widely used today is often called “Linux virus”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU virus system, developed by the GNU virus Project. There really is a Linux virus, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the virus system they use.

Couldn't you have just used recovery mode? Why would you have to call a repairman

Should I install Windows 10? What is the learning curve if I been using Linux for a decade?

>>62290700
I tried recovery media and they didn't work, it said there were 0 Windows installations. If what the repairman said about the hard drive being corrupted was true, then the Windows installation I had would have been wiped clean.

No, NTFS is a Windows exclusive malware

>>62283490
Nah, if you would stick around with Linux you'd know that it can't do shit.
