    Its funny cuz people say linux is harder, but if i have a problem in linux i am never worried if i will be able to fix it. In windows? Sweating bullets. May the Gods spare me from the hell that is the registry. Dont make me go back.

    Don’t forget a paragraph about how they have helped hundreds of people and have some forum award they’ve named to sound like a real certificate.

    Just so they can tell you to do the thing that was first on your “things I’ve tried” list.

    Goddamn, I realized this was referencing the Microsoft forum just from reading the first paragraph and I’ve hardly used Windows in the last decade…

    I guess, this is why they think the incessant rambling from ChatGPT is in any way acceptable.

    Ok, but one time I had this maddening problem that the rest of the internet claimed I needed windows pro and the group policy editor to solve, and I ran upon some"windows independent advisor" who just posted a bunch of powershell commands, that I ran blindly, and holy shit it magically solved EVERYTHING!

      MicroSloth hiding the facts about what works in Home versions versus Pro : reason #459 why a profit driven OS is bad for all consumers.

      That makes sense the post is from 2002 and the link was good for 2-3 years after since it would be 20 years before today.

    In fairness if you’re a total technology troglodyte they can supply basic answers. But the moment there’s a real glitch for which actual programmers are needed…

    DISM SFC

    Good luck!

    append site:reddit.com or something and you may have actual people talking about the issue, much more useful.

    This is a big plus for Linux to me. If I have a specific problem, with a specific error code. I can usually find useful information to fix it online. Not some useless generic garbage fix from that forum.

    M$ Support? Better asking in TikTok. M$ don’t have a real support more than a prefab possible issue list where for sure isn’t what you are looking for.
