I never have that kind of problem on Linux. I have random problems all the time on Windows, plus I have to fight a system that keeps trying to cajole or trick me into things I don't want. These days, any mainstream Linux distro has far less friction for the user than Windows 11.
I had that specific problem trying to run an elden ring mod (reforged) this week.

That kind of thing happens on Windows sometimes, but there's also more people finding and posting solutions.
Of course, a regular user isn't installing mods for games. That's already kind of a niche activity.
I'll stick with Linux. Even with the occasional "what do you mean clib2_39 isn't installed?" nonsense it's still better overall.

Linux is still my choice, though.
