Windows or Linux: Which is easier to fix?
I like to break stuff. Why? It means I get to find things out about what I’ve broken and it means I get to repair what I have broken. And operating systems are no exception.
A client of ours had an issue with a .NET upgrade. He couldn’t get .NET to upgrade and he “needed it”. So one of our employees did what just about any consultant would do and uninstall/reinstall .NET. But then Quickbooks POS refused to run. AND POS refused to uninstall. AND (after I called in Intuit and they forced the uninstall) POS wouldn’t re-install. It was a pickle. A big pickle. But it lead me to this question:
Between Linux and Windows, which is easier to fix when broken? It was an interesting question, but one that should be easy to answer (at least in theory).
