Yes, I remember, even up until very recently, having to google help on Windows. You'd get webpages full of adverts with a heading '12 ways to fix Win10 freezing during upgrade bug!'. And the first two would be something like 'switch it off and on again', 'try again', 'reconnect to your wifi'.

I always felt I could dive deeper with linux problems _if I wanted to_, and that weirdly gives me some confidence that I can fix it.
