Does it solve whatever Windows problem they were having?
No? Then it is not helpful.
It is like asking for help to fix a hole in your pants, and someone replies with "just buy a skirt".
I've replied to someone having a problem with Linux to just install Windows. It is the exact same useless vibe.
Well it is more like your ceiling is leaking from the apartment above and your landlord ain't doing shit. Installing Linux would be like moving out to another apartment or home. Even if it doesn't fix the leak the problem is now gone for you.
Ok, but what if the problem was that you didn't like the door color and you weren't allowed to paint it because of your landlord.
Are you still going to move your entire life to a different location?
Most problems on the Microsoft forums aren't going to explode their computers.
I don't think that's a great comparison. You're most likely never allowed to paint your door. I would say it's more like curtains, your apartment has proprietary curtain rods, that you can't put your own curtains on for some reason, so you ask all your neighbors how to change them. They respond with "have you tried opening and closing your curtains yet?", "Try vacuuming them to get the dust off". Then you finally get a hold of the landlord and they say you can't replace them.
