Yeah that's another difference. When something breaks on Windows people will do anything to fix it, including reinstalling Windows or buying another machine.

When something goes wrong on Linux they decide Linux doesn't work and reinstall Windows.

I've had Windows installs slow down till they take 15 minutes to start. I once clicked the wrong button in Visual Studio and the computer became some kind of remote driver debugging target, permanently. Half the settings broke and every startup it would autologin as a debug user.

If anything like that happens on Linux it's proof Linux is too complicated, but on Windows it's just one of those things.

Come up with a definition of "chair" that applies to all chairs and doesn't apply to any non-chairs.

Or "sport", or "hole".

Doesn't mean none of these things exist, or that you have to listen to a scientist who insists on a definition where barstools aren't chairs but treestumps are.
