Same here. This was a Windows-specific version flaw. Mac & Linux were unaffected. It was an invalid bit of C++ code that accessed an off-limits memory address, causing windows to crash as a result. I have fixed dozens of them since Friday. No biggie.

I am typing this reply on Mint. That said, I have rolled out a few PCs using Pop!_OS (also debian.Ubuntu-based) and I like it very much. *We have options*. Just refrain from installing Microsoft Edge. Brave is great, and you can sync profiles between machines (even Windows).
Watch out! You could turn into a Super-Hero, at least in my book!
I use Mint and Mint has been my long time favorite. I have used Pops a good bit ... and Fedora somewhat, plus a quite a few other OSs most of which I switched out shortly after the install. I also notice that Mint has shot up in DistroWatches ranking list ... and battling it out with MXlinux. I can't figure it out, but MXlinus must hold some attraction for some people.
I use Cinnamon, and I like Mint Cinnamon better than having to load Cinnamon over Gnome in Pops!_OS. I like Mint's customizing features, and I think Mint's software store is better. And so hard to guess ... right. I'm writing on Mint too.
I have five browsers which I use. My favorite and most used is Yandex (the Google of Russia). I do use Brave and I also very much like Falkon. And all now working well on my System76 Oryx since it tested the memory, found it corrupted and replaced the old memory with an upgrade to 32 GB Crucial. the corrupted memory was, according to the terminal readout, something called Gold Star. I bet you never heard of them. And I bet System76 never used that brand again after the failure complaints began to roll in. Just a guess.
Well, thanks for the heads up. I never use Edge ... nothing MSFT at all. And I guess you can tell I always get excited over anything having to with Linux.

Thanks. I a Linux Mint user and only know enough to keep my machines up and running. I always appreciate your kind of info.

Nice to know about Brave. Thanks!
