Or you know, just backup your system entirely.

Well even so you're barking up the wrong tree. Read my comment history: I never gave anyone the personal advise to switch to Linux, because honestly I don't care about what anyone uses, and frankly I dislike Windows users coming over to Linux forums expecting everything to be the same as Windows under a different name and complaining when it isn't. I was merely explaining why people are giving that advise.
Again, I'm not going to silence or censor myself for some random internet bully like you. Who the fuck are you to say what kind of advise I can and cannot give? Get lost.
I'm not a Windows user, and certainly not a Windows expert. Why should I have to provide solutions to Windows problems? I use Linux so that I don't have to bother with that shit.
Listen, if you don't like what I have to say, don't read my comments, block me or stop replying or something, but I'm not going to shut myself up to please some random twerp like you.
Fuck off with your stupid takes
Yeah, real mature take you have there buddy.
offer a real solution to the problem.
"My husband always beats me when he is drunk. Don't tell me to leave him, just tell me how I get him to stop beating me"
^ This is you basically.
Even point 4 is something I have never experienced, and is probably also lack of understanding.
A filesystem is either mounted or it isn't. Mounted for one program but not for another doesn't exist. If they don't see it in the filepicker, they probably just don't know the mount point.
JFC people like you ... You have like the worst case of Stockholm syndrome I've ever seen. I swear the only reason you are getting so angry and defensive when people recommend Linux is because deep down you know they're speaking the truth.
Yes you were sweetie.
This may sound strange to you, but I actually don't give a single fuck about how you perceive things.
Even if it's only one, I will have helped one person, unlike you who has only been bitching and moaning.
Unless you have a very clearly predefined and unchanging use case, I think a personal computer will always be a pet and trying to enforce a cattle paradigm on it is a mistake.
Furthermore I find it a waste of time sorting out "user files" from "system files", not to mention that it is error prone, when I can easily just back up everything and be sure. I don't ever intend to restore "everything" as a whole, but being able to refer to previous versions of random files (like your
/etc/fstab), even if it's just for troubleshooting, has already proven to be invaluable for me.
