I really don't understand the people who say this. Having an issue on Windows is an absolute nightmare. You have to navigate through countless menus, look through a bunch of SEO farming shit pages that say they have solutions but they actually just want to sell you DriverEasy or whatever, look through similar if you're lucky microsoft support pages, that basically all they say is "oh, do sfc /scannow in the terminal... oh it didn't work? delete everything and reinstall windows"
On Linux if I have an issue I lookup the error and the solution is in the first few results, which is usually "put this command in the terminal" or "change this in this config file" and everything starts working again immediately. Most of the time I don't even have to reboot.
