For Windows, yes, it's plenty of people. For Linux you can spend the

I don't know what planet you are from, but here in the Earth, a planet of
the Milky Way galaxy (just to help for localization purposes though this
theory is being discussed as some think it could come from Sagittarius :-
P) you don't even need something like a manual or documentation for
solving a Windows related issue. Even your little brother (aged 6) can do

Remember: Windows is a toy, MacOS is a dungeon and Linux is an attitude.
