People doing the 30 days linux Challenge are having several problems because of Mint's old packages and technology. Why people still recommend it when there is Fedora and Opensuse with KDE and Gnome?

Windows is way more documented. Not necessarily by Microsoft but by the absolute waste community.

If I had a nickle for every BSOD error code I researched only to find "have you tried running sfc /scannow? What about a refresh? You tried both and nothing worked? Just reinstall!"

More documented my ass. Linux at least tells me what's wrong. "No space left on device" or "missing dependency" is way better than "Error code 0x0000007e"

Jup, Im having an NTP issue on my win10 machine If you search for it you find the same 5 "solutions" from dozens of content farms.

have you tried running sfc /scannow?

To be fair this is kinda "did you try to reboot?" kind of answer. Stupid, but effective.

Just reinstall!

IT'S TIME TO REINSTALL ШINDOWS! This is why I love Linux community, especially Gentoo. Reinstalling system is rarely considered to be valid answer.

I repair computers on the side and this exact issue happens so frequently I know some of the error codes that I dont bother trying to fix now. The sheer amount of Windows reinstalls I have to do... honestly its often faster than trying to fix the problem.
