    Ah, so it is a skill issue for you?

    Windows is a whole lot better documented than any Linux distro ever will be. Because of the fact it is the standard in the majority of businesses. So if you can’t find the solution, then that is on you.

      yes, I don’t want to be get “skilled” in a proprietary disservice.
      and no, distributions like Debian GNU/Linux, or arch has far better documentation. the quality of documentation also matters. they may not have 100 different “run sfc scannow” websites, but they will have almost any problem you can find on good forums.

      To be fair, I’ve had some issues on Windows that have left microsoft support staff saying “yeah man Idk good luck hope you figure that out lol”. Meanwhile, on Arch, I’ve never had a problem that didn’t have a solution, or at least a clearly documented cause (which is almost always just as important as the solution) right there in plain text on the ArchWiki.

      Plus, when a windows error happens, you usually just get a little message saying “It dun broke 🤷‍♂️”. Again, on linux, 9 times out of 10, I get a pretty detailed error message at least telling me what broke, and maybe even some hints as to why. I get that Windows has error logs, but I bever have to dig for that info on linux, it’s always presented to me because it’s important.

      Does windows show logs? What documentation is going to help you when you don’t know the error. Most windows troubleshooting guides I’ve seen include 4-5 solutions and say try all of them maybe something will work if you are lucky. On linux you can find pretty much any bug on GitHub or an online forum.

      Edit: ignore this guy lol. Just seen him in other comments in this thread. Dude is saying skill issue when he’s literally scared of a terminal.
