Much like the old internet adage: if you want to know the answer to something, confidently state the wrong answer, and inevitably someone who knows the correct answer will chime in to correct you.
I appreciate you!
You used to be able to get people to quickly give you an exact no bullshit straight to the point answer in Linux support forums by making a post along the lines of "Linux sucks because x never works. Windows is obviously superior because it's possible to make x work". Someone would then refute all your points and post how to fix your problem.
Exactly.
Nowadays the answer is "BS, x works out of the box on both, RTFM noob" 😛
