Had the exact experience when I for the first time in a long time booted up Windows to be a manchild and play some gaymes.
Nothing seemed to work for me. Sound, Bluetooth, none of it worked.
In the end it all came down to the magic trick. Rebooting the machine without doing anything.
Only when I want an excuse to not fix someone's shit for free.
Except they are right, you're a neo-luddite hipster who doesn't have any software so any OS that does is going to seem confusing to you. Kill yourself
As someone who has installed Linux alongside Windows because a user is so fucking retarded with technology that they fuck their windows install beyond belief monthly, Linux is much more friendly to "computer illiterate" and >>61363219 is probably right.
Linux:
>can't install a virus using a pacman GUI
>don't have to learn to use anything, just copy command line input from pajeetexhange
>no punishment for being a retard if you put /home/ in separate partition, just reinstall after you break something.
Windows:
>can install random software off of the internet with .msi files
>have to learn GUIs made by best chinks ching-chong-land has to offer
>if you break everything, you have to manually backup your files then find your windows liscense key, buy a new one, or use an activator and reinstall
Linux is much more tolerant to the user doing stupid shit, and if you are allowed to do stupid shit, you become stupid.

What job is this? I would like a job where I don't have to deal with any Microsoft bullshit, but apparently only a small subset of sysadmin jobs are like this
