Seriously. Just don't.
You'll save yourself a whole lot of grief, and if you really want to be keeping yourself entertained in some twisted fashion during a boring ass conference, you'd be better off sticking to the rabbit (wabbit) virus fork bomb in Linux, just to see how much your i5 can take before things start freezing and the only way out is to press the reset button on your PC's case, if it has one, or if it has the Power button only, holding it in with your finger for a few seconds, waiting for the drives to spin down if they are mechanical, waiting for the fans to stop spinning, (I don't think there's anything you need to do while you wait for your SSDs to stop running) and then start everything right back up again.
Not that I advise doing that (intentionally) either.
Remember the Claymore which I tore a new butthole in the previous blog post, "Things I Hated About The Claymore, Post No# 2?"
Apparently I like an idiot decided it would be kind of entertaining in some sort of macabre way to have Suicide Linux and try to combo it with a fork bomb. Sadly, I think the consequences caused the grub partition which Linux populated to be gone forever. But then again, I don't think I need to remember 2020 anymore anyway - it was a very horrible year...
I mean, if anything, this gives me an excuse to completely "factory reset" the PC from the standpoint of a typical owner who is paranoid. Namely, the re-installation of the OS (Particularly Microsoft Windows and Ubuntu-Linux), the restore of pretty much all the games and files that I had lost (Might not be a shit idea to somehow get a hard drive or SSD big enough installed in my RedEye so I can take my steam library on the go) and I'm probably not going to bother pairing my Bluetooth controller with the Claymore again, probably pairing it with this computer for joystick gaming at home, but probably wanting a wired controller separate for when I need to be on the go gaming - which seems pointless, but in my mind it seems like a brilliant idea.
Because of this, I'm going to be factory reinstalling the OS
(Windows) - Don't tie a local account to this. Just don't. (& this time - stay the fuck out of Insider Preview and do not install Windows 11. You built it as a 10 system, so you're retiring it as a 10 system.)
(Linux) - Initially, install it using OEM configuration. Then, when you reboot to the desktop the first time after installation, press, "Prepare for shipment to end user."
If my camera and mic work in Windows, then I will likely be ignoring the Linux partition, since I plan on retiring this computer soon, and since I plan on not keeping it as a productivity PC, I'm going to get rid of it, considering the larger form factor is considerably overkill for the job I want it for. (Basically, it's the equivalent of playing the Gran Turismo Sunday Cup with a LM Racer - yes, it's possible to do it, but the real questions you should ask if you think about doing it - are why? What's the point? And if I can do it with a Castrol Tom's Supra, then why don't I just do it with the Toyota MA70 Supra, or a AE86 Corolla?)
So, in conclusion - don't be an idiot and decide to brick your computer with "Suicide Linux."
It's not worth it.
You'll pull your hair out and scream if you have it happen to you if you know how to recover it.
You'll literally pluck every follicle of hair from your scalp and scream twice as loud if you have it happen to you if you don't know how to recover it.
