    With respect, you can screw up Windows by doing things in a non-standard way too. That’s not the fault of the OS.

        You can fix what you did wrong in Linux. People are just less used to troubleshooting Linux problems than Windows problems because they’ve used Windows more, by and large

        Are you literally here to proclaim that Windows is the better OS because Linux gives you the freedom to screw it up?

        My brother in computing, that’s on you if you’re having problems with fixing problems you’ve caused in Linux. As a former professional system admin, I’ve run into issues with Windows that Microsoft’s own support team could not figure out and had to refund their fee. I have never, not once, had an issue in Linux that I couldn’t fix or find someone who knows how.
