My experience is the opposite. Whenever I run into a weird problem on Windows, half of the time I can't find an answer anywhere. And when I find an answer, it often seems really sketchy, like deleting a specific registry key, without explaining WHY it is required.
I also had some problems, where I couldn't find anything with Linux, but less so than on Windows.
I guess it depends a lot on what you do, I don't play a lot of games and don't need any Software that's supported only by Windows.
ArchWiki is my first point of contact after experiencing an issue. Its an amazing resource.
I'm surprised Windows default troubleshooting solution has been to employee people who spend their time answering questions on forums, often just copy/pasting answers which often don't apply to the question being asked.
