Because other operating systems aren't written by stinky Indians causing massive bloat that requires a reinstall twice a year. Maybe if Pajeet and Rama weren't borderline brain-dead monkeys Windows wouldn't need a reinstall so often.

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Because they don't need to

You can't get much simpler than copying your settings and personal files, formatting, reinstalling, and copying your settings and personal files back. Windows has to automate these steps because the OS is a trainwreck

Because other operating systems are
1- always fresh
2- actually sane, so nothing destructive happens even if you reinstall from scratch.

>Why is Windows the only operating system with a simple non-destructive reinstall option?
Have you even read the fucking picture you posted?
It removes all of your fucking programs and chances all your settings to their. How is that not destructive?
And how is that different to just copying your C drive/home folder on an external HDD, reinstalling whatever OS you choose, and moving back all your shit?

Because in both ways, you have to redo all your configurations, and reinstall all your software.

But thats a mook point anyways, because a proper OS wont need that shit anyways.

I did this recently and it literally wiped my fucking ext4 partitions.

>Why don't other operating systems have a "refresh" feature?

Protip : they do. It's called rsync and works on any Unix-like operating system.

Because Linux doesn't need to reinstall every 6 months. You only reinstall when support runs out and for my distribution that is in 10 years time

This is the wonkiest solution to Windows rot they could come up with

This is like restarting a process that leaks memory every few hours instead of fixing the leak.

i.e. what people do in the real world?

>>54638271
Most OS's don't get stale thus never need to be "refreshed".
