Normal people (idiots) would rather spend 4 years of their overall life "hacking" with Windows to avoid 30 minutes learning to use a forward slash.

I've spent ways less time editing the windows registry than I've spent trying to fix all the dual monitor bugs with linux.

Windows issues/changes are a 30 second google search away, linux issues often enough require a 1 hour deep dive into multiple forums.

Have you googled Windows issues? Every problem apparently is fixed by running chkdsk or download a "driver updater". And it wasn't exactly good in the past either.

If you don't know what to search, how to word it, or where to look instead of clicking the first link with "[SOLUTION]" then maybe you shouldn't be troubleshooting...

Oh come off it. Obviosuly you don't click those the problem is the Microsoft support articles are outdated/missing and their own forums aren't much better.

The chaff you have to cut through for Microsoft products is on another level.
