Some Samsung smart fridges stopped working on Tuesday due to a firmware update.

Korean outlets were the first to report the problems, which affect Samsung’s Bespoke AI line of fridges. Star News Korea, per a Google-provided translation, said that most of the affected devices were four-door fridges from 2024 or later.

OK so I have a nice External harddrive with enough terabytes of free space to save my stuff, then what do I do? Download a Linux installer, delete Windows (somehow), Load Bootscreen(assuming I still can after I delete Windows), and type in "Run Linux Installer?" is it that about the gist of it?

Start from the installation media and overwrite Windows. As far as I am aware, you can't really "delete Windows", not from itself at least. No idea what you meant by "bootscreen".

If you want, I can hop on an instant messenger and (attempt to) help you.
