The Linux kernel has become a bloated disaster.

Imagine using OS which can damage your PC hardware. Linux is so bad and trash!!!
I'm glad using Windows for 20 years.

You're an idiot if you think Windows updates can't damage hardware.

That's not Windows fault but rather than OEM give crappy firmware, i have use Windows since Windows 95, Windows never destroyed hardware.
Meanwhile this crappy Linux has faulty of the kernel itself, typical linux fix always relies on community <Mod Edit> which filled of pathetic people who told you are dumb for using garbage distro or they going to tell stuff like "yoU DoNt uNdErStAnD LiNuX aT aLL".

Oh, that was a scary one.

Had to check, my uname -r luckily says 5.19.11-100.fc35.x86_64

The bug in question was in driver code that was submitted by Intel. So saying 'it's the OEM's fault, not the OS' applies just as well in this case.

You mean like those Windows 10 updates that would brick some people's PCs? And no, that wasn't due to bad vendor firmware.

Yet it still consistently performs better than Windows despite being much more backwards compatible on the hardware.

Not sure how you would expect it to not be large considering it includes all drivers, unlike Windows. Its not like they are loaded compiled into the kernel, most are modules and dynamically loaded when required.
