It has the best wiki I've ever seen https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_guide You'll learn a lot about Linux and basically build your own distribution from scratch and have a complete control over your OS. Although if I were you, I'd first install Arch on VM or second computer/partition and do it when I'd have at least 2 days of free time, because first steps are hard, but well worth it in my opinion.
I also doubt it's common, yeah But it happened once either way. It really is hilarious that it happened to him
I don't mean literally burned, it just died. He installed Win10, tried to reboot and it din't boot up.
I saw different problems with Windows 10, like explorer crashing every 5 minutes, or general slow down, but burning hardware is ... original
One British dev one day was talking about how he tried to upgrade system to Windows 10...
Since I'm interested in game dev myself, I tend to stick to groups of game developers myself
I've never had any problems with Visual Studio or LaTeX editor... All the stories about Windows 10 not working are like myths to me, like "what the hell people, are we talking about the same thing, because I've had totally different experiences than you".
