If you 'play' an operating system as if it was a game, what is the final boss, and how do you beat it?

The final boss was Arch in the early days.
The boss fight was troubleshooting your display settings in Xorg.conf blindly, because you didn’t have any screen output after an update.

If the game is Elder Scrolls, then I beat the OS by waving my Wabbajack and the Windows OS turns into Linux.

I have always found the manual of the manual page two a bit scary.

The final boss of Windows is to crowbar out a metric shitton of bullshit and you do it with a bunch of registry tweaks and GPedit
