Canonically she uses Copland OS, which is named after an abandoned Mac OS 8 prototype but is functionally completely different. Given that Copland OS is built to access what works like a crossbreed between the internet and and the Zone from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, I think it’s reassuring that we don’t have it in our world.
Copland was supposed to take over the world at the time the anime was made, so that makes sense. Didn’t quite turn it that way, of course, which is probably for the better.
Back in the good old days I used to play kmem-roulette: Write a random value into a random address of /proc/kmem until the system crashed. That was much more fun, as on the way there was also the possibility that the kernel might just start wreaking havoc in some random files. No wonder they removed the kmem file in the end.
0.4889 / 7 chance of failure, naively accounting for Windows’ market share and assuming the user is sufficiently privileged (according to LostXOR’s comment, I stand corrected)
Exactly zero risk
Especially for her, seeing that we know she doesn’t use Windows.
She uses an arcane mix of Linux From Scratch and OpenBSD

Are you sure? From what I can tell there’s a 5 in 6 chance of catastrophic failure.
First of all, 1 in n. Second, 0…6 has amount 7 (len(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) == 7), so therefore 1/7.
Also,
Fair, I was trying to be cheeky and here you are shutting me up with a compiler level “nope”. Take your +1.
