You can usually find the solution to Linux problems on the forum for your distro.
With windows problems, the answer is usually "nothing can be done unless microsoft actually decides to fix it". That's after digging through 10 or more pages of search results filled with AI generated crap.
Yes, and I would like to add that if you really know what you're doing, you can even fix complicated, deep-rooted problems by yourself.
That is just a straight up lie
I haven't encountered a SINGLE issue like that in all my years of IT in heavy Microsoft environments. You can always find a solution, albeit having some small caveats like you have in every open source software. Every single issue is documented somewhere since 80% of desktops run it. The community is just so much bigger. You can even straight up contact Microsoft directly if you encounter anything that hasn't been encountered before.
Don't blame your lack of Google fu on Microsoft just because you don't like their design philosophy.
I would say so far, I can find the solutions just like i can with Microsoft, i can even leverage it with AI to get my problems solved. and actually, in linux mint, they have a irc and forum i can contact from my desktop.
shut the fuck up capitalist pig.
