I admit I'm not a hardware person so I can't say this with certainty,
but it seems to me that outside of maybe a BIOS situation, an OS is not
going to destroy hardware.
Therefore, he never left Windows in the first place he'd have still
ended up with the dead hardware.
I actually agreed with him on some points but I can't take him seriously
when he says Ubuntu destroyed his computers.
