I've seen variations of a snarky "I never had this problem on Linux" one-liner comment so many times that I have to resist the urge to write "I never had this problem on Windows" every time I see a Linux user asking for help.

I'll save you the trouble:

"Well linux is maintained by volunteers not a billion dollar multinational corporation that should have the budget to do that"

With a side of:

"That's because windows got in bed with PC OEMs and contracted to be the ONLY preinstalled OS they can use years ago (when it also sucked less), so it became the standard, and now vendor lock in rears it's ugly head, so the other multinational corporations cater to windows. Had any other OS done that you'd use that, you don't like 'windows' itself you like vendor lock in."
