    90% of problem solving is just Googling stuff and screwing with settings, which isn’t particularly Linux specific.

      Under Linux you find the root cause and fix it.

      Under Windows you just try everything until something magically works.

        That’s exactly what I tell tinkerers.

        You can be a Windows IT person for a decade and not really know anything except how to copy and paste something.

        You do the same for Linux, and at some point, everything clicks.

      Except the success chances are significantly higher on Linux and It’s easy to find a manual.
