No, it didn’t brick any of the computers I’ve canceled this on. Then I went and did a quick regedit so it wouldn’t happen again. It will tell you when you cannot interrupt the changes.
Also, even linux has issues with some input devices, I’ve had it decide to use some unexpected keyboard format where keys don’t match and it doesn’t automatically load a mouse driver leaving you to try an alternative install that allows customization. But I got it installed just fine.
Real stretch there, trying to make sure “windoze bad.”
Not on this screen. I’ve not had a crash/reinstall since pre-Win7. XP? Plenty of times. Rebuilding registry hives. Reinstalling. Sure. Goddamn XP winsock error. 10? No. Occasional graphics driver issues when gaming? Yep. Seems like every second update.
Linux? Updates break my installs or installed apps all the damn time. Frustrating AF. Just tried updating my Raspbian desktop which broke my remote desktop install. Had to roll that back.
Having had this screen appear on me…

Mmhmmm, the vaunted “it’s never happened to me” line, very convincing

Nothing is perfect.
Believe whatever you want.
Perfectly normal and believable.
FWIW, a ‘driver issue’ and ‘breaking an install’ seem like two different ways to describe a similar situation.
I offered it as the minimal issue I’ve had with the OS, not as a comparison to broken install of some sort.
