It could actually, the Heat spreader is usually bonded to the Chip with some form of Indium Solder, which usually has a melting point of up to 210°C (most compositions are around 120-140°C).
Solder likes to form a similar ball around traces and components, since the solder does not stick to the silk screen of the PCB.
And I remember that this is exactly what happened in the Gamer Nexus video, the Indium Solder was melting due to Overheating.
Agreed. And then there is the combo of the most recent NVIDIA driver and Debian Kernel that doesn’t work together. First time I actually had to downgrade a Kernel update though.
But I guess this could happen with every driver
“Allows” You have to add/change a registry key, so it’s not like this is an option Microsoft wants normal users to have.

You could just make a backup of the registry key and install it again in a few clicks .
I wish, but multiple Laptops with unavailable drivers, barely working trackpads, sleep issues and a few other annoyances tell me it isn’t always as easy.
I haven’t found many systems that Windows doesn’t run
I disabled that realy quickly… If I wanted to search the Web I would use a browser. I can only recomment that, it speeds up search a lot and it now actualy works as one would expect
You can do the same on Windows (mount ssh shares), there is an Fuse like project for Windows: WinFsp.
