Your right about apples philosophy which apple does reasonably well. But microsoft windows? Never my experience.

Just today at work (where windows is mandatory) got a teams call and had no sound. Turns out after connecting a Bluetooth device and then removing it the internal sound-device got disabled and had to be re enabled in a new settings menu, which sure didn’t pose much challenge for me, but my grandparents?

Linux in contrast feels so much more stable. Applications may update but when i tell the system to behave a certain way it will continue to do so till i tell it not to.
