Are they still experiencing whatever problem they were having?
No? Then it is a solution. Not the solution, and not a possible solution for everyone, but it is a solution.
So what you are saying is that if someone has a problem with Linux, replying with “just install Windows” is a valid fix?
You “fixed” the issue by giving them 10 more problems.
Are you also giving them alternatives to all the software they use daily that isn’t compatible with Linux?
What if they have hardware that is incompatible? Like Nvidea and certain printers?
You are essentially telling them to rip out everything and start anew. Which just isn’t feasible or even necessary when they just have one problem.
So no, you did not fix anything.
TIL that millions are spent buying nvidia hardware but none of those companies can actually use them
Did you completely miss the part where I said “Not the solution, and not a possible solution for everyone, but it is a solution”? I don’t know what you think the usual troubleshooting process is, but it doesn’t start with “uninstall Windows”. Obviously the user was sufficiently intelligent to consider the advantages and disadvantages of switching, and based on that information, chose a course of action that they thought was correct, and it ended up being the solution to their issue.
I don’t know how else I can spell it out for you. Computer users are not dumbasses. They have agency over their own actions.
