Linux

Idk what you do to your windows, but mine is as stable as my linux.

Anecdotal.

Windows as an OS will come to a halt when there are issues with software, core dumps and blue screen are still a thing, updates always require restarts, etc. Linux is built from the ground up to not require reboots and to be extremely stable in case of software crashes.

About the only things that can damage Linux to the pont where the OS needs to restart is kernel upgrades and fork bombs (if don't know how to prepare for those).

These are less of an issue for home users, but they're still a thing and I heavily dislike Windows for the way it manages crashes.

Even though, I'm pretty happy with XP and 7. (I've used Macs, and Linux variation(s) as well).

Same. I've used Windows all my life but I've tried Linux and Mac - wasn't a fan of either. Also, I have close to zero problems with my Win 7 after minimal updates and halting the rest. After that, I control which services run on startup and all that stuff to keep my Windows running smoothly and quickly. The only time I've had a real problem with Win7, EVER, was a trojan on my laptop last year. But it was an easy fix, lol.

Linux needs proper software compatibility and support before it can ever become as mainstream and widely-used as Windows is. Simple fact.
