People having to work with Microsoft stuff (not just windows) have gotten so used to needing to find workarounds for everything that those genuine issues have become the baseline expectation.

Only having to fill in a wrong email/password a few times sounds like peak user experience compared to the shit I have to pull in Azure/Power BI/AD at times. My genuine first reaction when reading that post was "ah of course, that makes sense".

Personally I use Linux for server/container stuff wherever possible. With the occasional excursion into Manjaro to see what's happening on the desktop side.
