    inevitably run into a problem with Linux

    This has nothing to do with any of kind of Linux problems.
    It’s, just Luddies crying because Linux is moving on from outdated flawed software.
    Same shit happens with windows, my guy. “WHAAAAAAAA MY WINDOWS XP WHAAAAAA” \

    If someone is have a Linux issue, they just need to ask. Literally just ask me, or the vast major of other users.

      yeah I’ve seen the windows support forums, every official response either misses the point of the question or the answer is straight up wrong.

        What gets me is the replies like “just wipe it & reinstall the whole thing”.
        Yeah right, like I’mma spend an entire hour wiping, reformation and reinstalling Windows, then varying additional time reconfiguring everything for a problem that likely has an extremely simple solution but they’re too lazy to gather the necessary information to actually solve it.
        Assuming that the Windows installer doesn’t fuck up and I have to restart the install process again, which has happened to me several times.
        At least Linux takes 5-10m tops to install for the user friendly distros.
        Even I, a Linux user who’s spent hours upon days debugging kernel issues for my hardware can see how fuckin stupid that shit copout advice is.
