And well, at least you do get easy access to logs and error messages on Linux, which makes it infinitely better in many ways, but is also at least partially why this post exists.
On Windows or such, you’d instead put a vague description into a search engine and hope someone had the same symptoms before…

The “fixes” on Windows are always
Step 1) Run antivirus
Step 2) sfc /scannow
Step 3) reinstall Windows

You also run “DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth” on step 2.
