learning all that stuff to clean windows is like replacing reddit with another privately-owned publicly-traded alternative instead of lemmy.
the same problems will keep returning over and over. in this case until next update. i’m old enough to remember these issues going back to the Vista days and its only gotten worse.
Windows has issues, but so does Linux. My personal experience with Fedora (Silverblue) has been fairly good with minimal hassle (Gnome Software breaks sometimes with auto updates, but is leaps and bounds ahead of the Synaptic days). However, someone using other hardware, another distro, or using other software might have a lot more problems to contend with.
There’s a lot of case-by-case nuance that in my opinion makes broad switch from A to B recommendations less meaningful than discussing the pros and cons and letting people decide on their own whether Linux could be useful for them.
If you are learning all that might as well just switch to Linux and stop relying on Microsoft’s enshittified products in the first place.
I’m on your side, but comments like these are nonsense and help nobody.
how so?
