    Also, troubleshooting in Linux is different than on Windows. Every time I had to fix a problem with my Linux system I walked away smarter than before. I learned a bit more about how my computer works, so in total it was a slightly positive experience for me.

    But anytime I had to troubleshoot my Windows computer it was because Microsoft fucked something up. Fixing Windows feels like wasted time to me, because you never know when they will break it again.

      "Hi, my name is Gilbert from Microsoft Support volunteer program! Please try the following and report back:

      • Uninstall all drivers, reboot, reinstall all drivers.
      • Reinstall all your hardware by re-seating it.
      • Delete and recreate your user account.
      • Run chkdsk.
      • IP config for no real reason but hey text output feels like progress.
      • a dozen other steps. . .
      • Completely reformat and reinstall Windows.

      …And let us know if that fixes the issue!"
