Linux crashing from VLC is why I discovered MPV (CTT had this same issue with VLC specifically in Linux). Linux also crashed from a native game (Bombermaaan), and mounting a drive that hadn’t been shut down properly among other times, but these are crashes were where reasons can be specified and not be a possible result of hardware malfunction.
Windows automatically repaired the drive before mounting. -Some would say because of ‘bloat’.
Although to be fair I don’t think crashes are a good way to measure how usable an operating system is for desktop users.
Agree, and I’m tired of seeing anecdotes on it when I could give my own where Linux crashed 10x as much in one month as Windows in a decade for me, and me being able to specify reasons. There’s also plenty of stability issues with Linux to be found online with a simple web search. When Windows Millenium was giving people headaches, I fixed it simply by removing the crappy software firewalls that were popular at the time. -I ran WinME for over 6 months of heavy gaming without shutdown with no problems -shutdown to upgrade hardware.
And we’re not even getting into how ‘stable’ is a misused term among their community.

You didn’t know what you are talking about. Go learn how computers work and then you can talk.
