That helps me exactly zero when I'm running something that is compiled for Linux and has no context in which to use the windows version. Which may not even be compiled with the same ./configure settings and would therefor potentially be missing entire codecs available to it.

This ladies and gentleman is the problem with discussing Windows design patterns on the internets. They say "use this" and you say "well it's broken in X, Y, Z" ways and instead of fixing it they say "you're using it wrong". No. Maybe it's just an inferior architecture.

This ladies and gentleman is the problem with discussing Linux distros on the internets. They say "install this" and you say "well it's broken in X, Y, Z" ways and instead of fixing it they say "you're using the wrong distro". No. Maybe it's just an inferior desktop OS.
