Summary

Matt finally snaps. After a faulty GPU, a laptop that keeps rebooting itself, and a pre-installed audio driver that hides in System32 and reinstalls itself after every Windows Update, the only sensible move is nuclear — wipe the drive and switch to Linux. A deeply personal saga of hardware woes, vendor frustration, and one very stubborn rootkit.
