but once you’re used to it, you realize that info usually give you all the tools you need to fix your problem.

That's the thing right? I'm very much a non-tech person. But Linux error messages are nice and informative to the point that, even if I don't personally know what the fuck they are saying --

-- I can just copy them to my browser search bar. Oh look, someone else had the same issue. And someone who knew what they were talking about presented a solution. Nice, now I can get back to work!

And even when I am forced to troubleshoot on my own, the error messages and terminal logs often give enough of a clue that I can trial-and-error my way into making shit work.

The memory dump it does is useless... like anyone is ever gonna take a look at that memory dump. Disable it, it just wastes disk space.
