    I mean, it could most definitely be better, but I really don’t think that it’s worse on Linux. Error handling is one of the hard problems in computer science in general.

    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

        Hey, that’s not true!

        Tap for spoiler

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

      Yeah, lol. At least the log says something vaguely useful. Instead of some Windows app that tells you Something went wrong :( and that’s all you get.
