    I disagree about how it used to be easy. And agree with everything else.

    Ive used Windows since the 3.1 days (MSDOS as well?). Its never been “easy”. You just learn the magic spells on how to fix a printer, get the right drivers installed in JUST the right way, or which hardware magically doesn’t work for some reason and avoid it.

    With Linux, at least we get good logs most of the time.

    I know some of the issue is the manuals themselves are out of date. Ive literally had to have something explained to me via the developers Discord. I hate going to a projects Discord in order to find out crucial info.

    Sometimes manuals are in 5 different places so you don’t know what applies to your specific system.

    I usually try and improve the manuals when I do come across this with a quick PR, when I have time.
