Troubleshooting GNU/Linux, in my experience, is pretty easy. Only the very obscure issues are difficult to remedy. I'd wager you can find varied solutions to 90 percent of issues across multiple forums and wikis. And the community is generally pretty good with instruction and documentation. Gotta hand it to the *BSD folks with the latter.
Windows troubleshooters suggest awful solutions to complex problems and you can never quite obtain a straight, easy to digest fix from them. And, most of the time, it's almost like you can catch a whiff of curry by just viewing most of their avatars.

Thats the exact reason why forums died.

I should hasten to add that it was made because their OEM discs also got thrown out and their hard drive failed.
