This. I had also become violent towards my machines, punching and kicking them several feet up.

This sounds like a mostly separate issue which you should get help for. Operating systems, by themselves, do not cause people to kick things.
They absolutely do. I could not develop on windows without anger management classes.
To be a bit clearer: I get that operating systems can be very annoying, but kicking things is not a healthy reaction to being annoyed.

If you kick things just because you're irritated, please seek professional help, and don't blame it all on Windows.

Why did you punish the machines for the software? :(

Edit: Ah, I see, you removed the violent rage towards machines running windows part.

I was young and immature and started doing that after I tried everything. I was also stuck with a "faulty" RAM which I couldn't replace that I thought was causing this. That situation occurred often enough and right when I really didn't want it to happen - like saving work - that it became irritating.
