I have spent the last 24 hours trying to install Windows because it decided to delete its bootloader during an update. Somehow it keeps failing in many different ways. Never had such a big headache with Linux. But sure, it's not user friendly.

Dealing with Windows' bootloader is a pain in my experience. At least with Linux there's good documentation and tooling.

Get ready for the same issues appearing on Linux too!

Never had them. Have been using Linux for 10 years. I did have a problem where Snapper decided to delete GRUB whenever I removed a snapshot, which was extremely annoying, but at least I could just boot a live image and run grub-install to fix it.

Well, get ready for them arriving to Linux!
