You learn plenty by breaking and reinstalling. I don’t considering it an invalid option for a home user. I had to reinstall MacOS7/8 and Windows 95/98 so many times as a kid. Learned a lot doing it, sysadmin now 🤷♂️
Whenever we (Brother and I) broke our W95 install, it was a pretty high stakes race against the clock to get it to work as expected again, because if my dad got home from work and found out about the broken machine, there would be consequences (him being frustrated, us not allowed to play C&C red alert or Warcraft II)

Fuck around, find out and learn.
But you repeat yourself
yeah, the point I was trying to make is that some people “find out” but do not learn
You learn a lot more by reading and fixing. That’s simply not possible with Windows.
