I never said I had a problem in my AMD rigs either, but you obviously can’t read. I ‘ve encountered those issues on others peoples’ PCs that they asked me to fix.

You obviously have less experience in fixing windows’ issues since you think they do not exist. If you knew how to Google you could find many many people having issues in Windows, many of those remaining unresolved in some case even after applying either a manufacturer or MS provided fix.

I called you a kiddo because you use childish insults like PEBKAC, if you want to insult somebody do it in the open.

Kiddo fuck off. I 've installed them plenty of time as well, still it’s a common issue mainly due to windows update. I obviously fixed that as well as plenty of shit you probably either never seen or pretend you didn’t.

You can’t bullshit me man. I ‘ve been using solving peoples’ issues with Windows before I ever downloaded a Linux distro.

Most of the problems average users won’t see with windows is because they buy it preinstalled while they have to install linux themselves. So they 'll be spared being unable to install AMD gpu drivers on a fresh Win 10 install if they made the mistake of not installing them before connecting the machine to the internet and Win Update fucking things up.

However windows update will get them later. Windows start menu refused to work after an update on a friends’ pc. Or it will be fail to apply an update and failing with no troubleshootable information only to fail again on next reboot and again and again. Or explorer crashing hundreds times a second causing users to have a black screen after login.

You are technically right in that the average user will not use the terminal (or registry, or booting to safe mode), they will pay someone else to do that or cope with it.

It’s telling you are not even going to defend your points.

Windows being mainstream is not due to being easier to use or setup/configure (which the mainstream does not do) nor due to it being more robust or easier to fix (which it isn’t, plenty of guys make their living fixing windows issues, usually by wiping and reinstalling because documentation for most things in windows is very shallow).

It’s because the mainstream buys PCs and they are sold with windows

Sure AMD’s drivers have not been a crapshot in windows forever, DDU dance is not a thing.

Sometimes to solve a windows problem you also get terminal commands, or get told to change settings in the registry. But usually users download some random binary tool that claims it will fix their problem. They will accept any UAC prompt as trained to do since Vista.

Frankly you are comically biased.

Only by not doing them, both the one world government and the language.
