More common to take it to some place, or a friend, that does a wipe and
re-install, with no proper diagnosis.  It's clear from the staff that
I've talked to at various computer companies that few really have any
idea about computing.  They're only at the point-and-click level, too.

I find it's much harder for someone to screw up a Linux box in the first
place.  And since there's quite a limit to how you initially got
yourself a Linux box, a completely lost user just has to go back to
there, and start again.  If you installed it yourself, you can
re-install it yourself.

Same applies to Windows.  I don't know how some people manage with only
one PC.  So many faults almost require a second machine to sort out
(reading on-line information, downloading replacement/repair software,
etc).

Must be different where you are, but they don't teach such things around
here.  It's a box on the desk that you click on things.  You're not
actually taught anything about how it works.
