I kind of agree with you but there's also the issue that when you have a problem with Windows, there are 30 people to tell you, "Here are the hoops, and here's how to jump through them," while on Linux there are often only 3-5 people, all telling you, "LOL wipe and replace your whole OS with the distro that I use because I don't have that specific problem."

I think it's the other way around. I often find only one source (if any) for configuring windows, and it's some registry edit that hasn't worked for years. On linux, there will be a dozen people providing multiple ways of getting it done, most of which work.

Or is some Microsoft community post where the "experts" just copied and pasted the steps from the top Google result.

I wonder if any of those people know what 'sfc /scannow' is even supposed to do.
