I dont like Microsoft operating systems and wanted to try something different. The computer had a working installation of Windows, which had been running well despite being from MS. Rather than delete it, I just changed to another hard drive. I installed Linux. The installation process was very painful. Getting it to cooperate with the hardware was worse, and of course there is no real support. I finally got it halfway working. At that point, I found it was hard to learn, harder to get used to, and hardest to do anything useful since none of the programs were familiar.
Two days later the computer stopped working entirely and would not even boot. I spent hours fighting with it, tried to reinstall linux and it simply would not work. I removed the hard drive that linux was on, plugged back in my Windows hard drive, and could not make the computer boot up. I finally took it to a computer repair place, and was told the CPU was dead. Cost to replace was more than another computer.
Hundreds of dollars later, I had another computer, with more power than before. Once again, I removed the hard drive, and installed that same spare harddrive with linux on it, only to discover that hard drive was permanently damaged. So, I purchased another harddrive, installed it, and installed another distro of linux that was listed to be one of the best ones. A week of fighting with installing it, and trying to make it work, I finally had a semi-working computer. Another week of struggling with trying to learn and use Linux, I was ready to give up on it and put the original Windows hard drive back. The next day I removed the linux drive and put back the Windows drive, and found the computer would not boot.
Once again, I took it to the repair shop and was told the CPU was damaged, and there was damage to the RAM too. Total cost was more than I paid for the computer. I also took along the linux harddrive, and was told that the drive had permanent damage (a brand new drive). The repairman asked me what I was doing with these computers. As soon as I mentioned the word "Linux", he told me that's my problem. He said Linux destroys computer hardware, and said he wont even allow it in his shop. He said that simply installing a self booting Linux CD can wreck a computer in minutes. mostly destroying the CPU and drives. This is caused because Linux sends the wrong voltages to components and burns up the CPU and other chips. It also plays havoc with harddrives, and causes them to lose their ability to read and write data.
So, here I sit with 2 ruined computers, 2 dead harddrives, and around $1200 worth of damages and repair bills. (Not including many hours of wasted time). Since Linux is made by a bunch of computer geeks and idiots with no real business address, there is no one to sue. Both my computer repairman and lawyer said it's worthless to even try a lawsuit.
It's just one of those hard lessons to learn in life.
All I can do is warn others, to avoid Linux like a deadly disease. Dont even try it, unless you want to intentionally destroy your computer. From now on, I'll just stick with Microsoft, even if their operating systems are bloated. At least they dont destroy computers, and they operate from an actual business that exists in brick and mortar, not to mention having actual online and phone support.

Probably the stupidest shit I've ever heard. IF this is true, incorrect drivers where probably making your chip tun hot and you were too big of a dumbass to notice or even check. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to touch computers.
