I never have that kind of problem on Linux. I have random problems all the time on Windows, plus I have to fight a system that keeps trying to cajole or trick me into things I don't want. These days, any mainstream Linux distro has far less friction for the user than Windows 11.

I had that specific problem trying to run an elden ring mod (reforged) this week.

/home/myuser/Games/er_reforged/ERRv2.0.1.1-541-2-0-1-1-1762909215/ERRv2.0.1.1/internals/modengine/bin/me3: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.39' not found (required by /home/myuser/Games/er_reforged/ERRv2.0.1.1-541-2-0-1-1-1762909215/ERRv2.0.1.1/internals/modengine/bin/me3)
[RED]Error:[/]
me3 failed to launch due to error code 1: Unknown

That kind of thing happens on Windows sometimes, but there's also more people finding and posting solutions.

Of course, a regular user isn't installing mods for games. That's already kind of a niche activity.

Linux is still my choice, though.
