Windows troubleshooting always seems to get a free pass from the same people that hate on Linux for reasons two decades out of date.
I spend way more time reading through whatever that Ms support forum with clueless shill tech support advice that never seems to solve the problem than with Linux. Meanwhile searching for distro + problem more often than not gives me the one liner terminal fix with explanation for those that could be bothered to read and avoid repeats.
Yep. My whole career is based on fixing MS bullshit. So I guess I should be somewhat grateful for the turd.
That said, Ive had some perplexing issues with Pop!_OS myself, but was able to get it fixed by searching or posting questions here. So far it's been a pleasant experience.
Totally 100% prefer distro or distro family + problem to anything in MS forums. My problem solving literacy has improved so much just by getting smart on terminal commands. I am by no means a pro and have a long way to go before I would consider myself even moderately proficient, but goddamn is the terminal satisfying.
