100% agree. I do value my time, which is the reason I use Linux.
For a typical Linux issue, there’s almost always a sane reason why it wasn’t doing what you’re expecting and is relatively easy to find and fix. In the end, you’ve fixed the problem and have gained a bit of knowledge.
For a typical Windows issue, just reinstall, because it will be faster than figuring out what asinine thing has broken this time. You’ve learned nothing and wasted time, but it’s better than spending hours tracking down a potentially unfixable issue.

Yeah I used to do a yearly Windows reinstall because it would just take up too much time to figure out “why it had slowed down now”.
