Regular people don’t read documentation.

Oh, let’s all use FreeBSD then. Please? Please?

Isn’t that the point of donating to it? If the French government wants a specific thing done (say, documentation), they can make the donation go towards that.

Ideally, that would be part of their initiative. There are multiple angles that can be taken to encourage Linux adoption. Standards for formal documentation and technical support options are two prongs on the same trident.

are you suggesting there is documentation for Windows?

It’s sufficiently documented.
It’s just spread across a fuck load of different pages (learn vs. msdn vs. support vs forum).
And the articles are so unnecessary distributed across those pages. And so much articles are missing links to related topics that it’s comically bad.
At least the powershell has a partly sound documentation. But very hit or miss.

Windows documentation is an absolute mess. The only reason you can claim it is “documented” is the sheer volume of users, but that’s not necessarily a good thing when suggested fixes include registry edits, disabling security features, and running everything as an admin.
