Yeah but no. Linux is pretty open and honest about the twisting mess. There are years-long discussions about them. The Xorg/Wayland thing has been surfacing a few times on HN recently.
If you search for a Linux problem, you'll get 50 different people telling you 25 different ways of fixing it, most of which work.
If you search for a Microsoft problem, you'll get 50 pages of corporate bullshit that pretend everything's OK. You have to ignore those and dig further to find some unofficial blogger or random dev post that actually tells you something useful.
Also looking at you, Apple - less bullshit and more honesty in your support pages please

Not in my experience. They may have worked for some version of some distro, but it is almost always not the one I'm trying to fix the problem on.

Unfortunately that is also pretty accurate, and it has been getting worse since Windows 10, resembling more and more the problem with searching for solutions to Linux issues. Does this fix still work for 1901 or did it only work for 1607?
