    Because of the ginormous community, every problem has a solution in Windows.

    If it isn’t a Microsoft sanctioned solution, then multiple third party solutions exists that fix it.

    Windows has a hell of a lot more support than any Linux distribution does.

      That’s not how this works. If it’s not a Microsoft-sancioned solution, it literally cannot be fixed no matter how much effort you put in. You need an API to work with Windows. If Microsoft does not provide you with an API, you can’t do it. And even if you find a way to hack together something, you have zero guarantee an update won’t just come along and fuck it. Linux distros are open source, you can change quite literally any thing about them. That is what that person was talking about.
