Windows has gotten a lot better at fixing itself, but even back in the day when it didn’t, I was confident I could find the solution to any problem in a forum somewhere.

    that, then I agree that Red Hat and things based on it suck, but I don’t see what does this have to do with “the current ecosystem”, because different distributions handle repositories differently.
