Yeah, but that wasn’t my point nor the one made by the person I was answering to. My point is, those users eventually hit the (inevitable) bump in the road, ask for help, get told by people like the person I was answering to that they have to RTFM or else they aren’t real Linux users, so they go back to Windows.
I genuinely have a hard time believing you can both have been “using Linux for a very long time” and never had to fix an issue lol. If you’ve legitimately been using it for that long, you’re also probably the type to RTFM, so I probably wasn’t talking about you…
There are other distros that require a lot less work to set up and maintain.

I’ve been using Linux for a very long time and nothing of the sort has ever happened to me.

I’ve had to fix many issues but I’ve never had anyone be an ass about it. I’ve received plenty of friendly, helpful advice.
