Much more often, different versions of software dependencies, operating system differences, artifacts left by other software/previous versions, etc, result in mysterious errors. 5 hours of rabbitholes later, I find a comment on github explaining that x broke y and they’ll fix it in the next release… 7 years ago. At which point I throw my computer out the window and leave to live the rest of my life in the forest.
This has almost never been my experience.

That sounds frustrating. I’m sorry.
