    What gets me is the replies like “just wipe it & reinstall the whole thing”.
    Yeah right, like I’mma spend an entire hour wiping, reformatting and reinstalling Windows, then varying additional time reconfiguring everything for a problem that likely has an extremely simple solution but they’re too lazy to gather the necessary information to actually solve it.
    Assuming that the Windows installer doesn’t fuck up and I have to restart the install process again, which has happened to me several times.
    At least Linux takes 5-10m tops to install for the user friendly distros.
    Even I, a Linux user who’s spent hours upon days debugging kernel issues for my hardware can see how fuckin stupid that shit copout advice is.
