    Linux isn’t very good for the casual person at this time, due to conflicting, dated, or missing documentation. If people are to be encouraged to adopt Linux, it should be toward distributions that have official technical support.

        It’s sufficiently documented.
        It’s just spread across a fuck load of different pages (learn vs. msdn vs. support vs forum).
        And the articles are so unnecessary distributed across those pages. And so much articles are missing links to related topics that it’s comically bad.

        At least the powershell has a partly sound documentation. But very hit or miss.

          Windows documentation is an absolute mess. The only reason you can claim it is “documented” is the sheer volume of users, but that’s not necessarily a good thing when suggested fixes include registry edits, disabling security features, and running everything as an admin.
