The spirit of hacking has to be revived. Not just for software but also computer hardware and hardware in general. It is just a dream, but curiosity about how things work would make people long for free software and the right to repair.
So that is why hacking is discouraged by big profiteering corporations, I guess 🤔
MS products are closed-source, so the error messages don’t need to be meaningful for the end user, because they can’t do much with them, anyway. The error messages are for MS engineers who have books they can look up the secret codes in.
Since Linux is open source, error messages need to be approached from a different angle. Every end user is a potential contributor to the project, so you want error messages that are meaningful so they can troubleshoot it.
I don’t know, I’d like to know if error 0x838473839 is the graphics card or a failed hdd. Because they print the same shit errors for hardware failures.

On a second thought, maybe it’s because error 0x848382920 means you need to buy a new computer
