Tbh, I disagree. Troubleshooting on windows for me became "reboot or reinstall it." Back in the days before 10 sure, but after it just got to the point where even microsoft support doesn't know how to do anything either.
In contrast, I have a problem on linux, I google, I find a stackoverflow page with the answer in a few terminal commands which are usually explained, sometimes I go check that program's manual or help page before I use it, but the command usually does fix the issue.
And it's not like you never have to use the terminal on windows, flash drive corrupted by windows and needs to be restored? Diskpart is here and it sucks but it works, CLI though. Editing conf files too, had to find (that was the hard part) and edit a conf.json file last week for a friend of mine who was installing a windows service.
(i agree entirely but if you say that to people who think linux is scary, they think you're being a dismissive jerk)
