I always thought the messages left by other players in Dark Souls was such a cool mechanic.
They could be helpful, letting the player know to be wary of danger, or they could be completely disingenuous and trick the player into jumping off a cliff and dying.
I always labored over whether or not to take a leap of faith based on other players' messages cause it was a toss-up whether they were being helpful or trolling, lol.
Depends on the root cause of the BSoD. If it's a hardware issue, then no, installing Linux won't fix an underlying hardware issue. What does the BSoD screen actually say? Any specific error code?
Yep, you could do that, but you'll need a functioning PC to create a USB installer for the Linux OS of your choice. You'll need a blank USB drive and some software to "flash" the Linux OS installer to the USB drive. e.g.: https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/burn.html
