Long story made a bit more tolerable, Claude’s friend’s grandson told Claude that if he put Linux on his machine, his problems would go away and he would be surprised if it ever happened again.

The grandson booted the computer into a live demonstration of Linux on his flash drive, and as they say…the rest is history.
