Yep, that tracks, for sure. I haven't had any problems like that, because I actually use the package manager.
Maybe knowing that and seeing it over and over again is why I like posts that go like "I use Linux, have never seriously used Windows/haven't used it in a long time, I tried it, it went wrong because the package managers available for it barely work and the command line interface is anything but sensible." I know some of it is intentional humour/turning things on their head, and some of it is genuine confusion and frustration, and I find it all hilarious. Because yeah, you are gonna have a bad time if you try to interact with Windows like it's a sane and reasonable OS that actually wants you to use it the way you want to!
