"sorry, I use Linux and have no idea how that Windows stuff works..."

And then you help them anyway.

Them: how'd you figure it out?

Me: I typed your problem into Google and read the page it recommended. You should try it

Them: I typed my problem into Google and it told me to download GoodComputerFix.exe and now it won't turn on.

That's fine. We all need to rest after serious procedures and computers are no different

You needed to download some RAM first.

Same here but when someone asks me a question about iPhones. I know very little about them since I use android, but since I'm the "computer guy" I must be able to fix iphones too

Just jailbreak it and install lineage os

Yup. Someone asked my grandma why she has an Android instead of an iPhone and it's literally because it was such a pain in the ass trying to help her with the iPhone when she had one. My work phone is now an iPhone and I still hate it.

Also I somehow became "The Mac Expert" at work and have no fucking clue how.
