In the last decade the only serious troubleshooting I've had to do is on non-Windows OSes. Including an install of Ubuntu that I blew away because it froze in the middle of an upgrade and couldn't load into the OS anymore.
So, speaking from personal experience, Windows is what I use when I just want stuff to work. Other OSes are fun when I have time to kill trying to figure out how to do things.
The thing is, many of us know Windows better than our back yard, because it hasn't changed much in the past 14 years (Win7). What we might call "basic troubleshooting" might be on the same level as a similar issue on Linux if you knew nothing
If a had a nickel for every windows system that I've had to reformat due to a botched upgrade I'd have a small jar of nickels.
