    Not everyone is a developer, but the vast majority of people use Windows. When an issue arises, it’s easier for a non-programmer to search for help than look at code.

      Sure, you also have that option on Linux, which would be the first thing you do anyway. But after you searched everywhere and found nothing, on Linux you still have an option to dig into the source code yourself, while on windows you’re pretty much done unless you have a support contract with ms.

      Ahh, look! Its my nearly decade long experience with Linux in one sentence! So that whole non-user-friendliness thing about Linux being uncomprehensible to amateurs, that’s surely just around the corner for me now, right? Right?!

      Not trying to argue any point here, ur comment in this context just made me chuckle.
