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).
