    Ask about a specific error code on a windows forum: unhelpful boilerplate nonsense.

    Ask about the vaguest symptoms of a recurring problem on a linux forum: a neckbeard wizard will show up and have you type 30 cryptic commands in your terminal and everything will be fixed.

      The funniest part about this is that almost every linux installation is totally different from every other one, whereas every windows installation is almost identical.

      But really, I certainly wouldn’t enter any random commands I was given from the internet on a linux machine unless I knew damn well what they did.
