    Thats pretty much my argument when people say “There are more bugs on Linux than Windows! Linux bad!”.

    No, there are not more, there are more found. There are just as many (or more) on Windows, but never found or properly reported. Which is a bad thing.

      There are more bugs reported. That makes all the difference.

      People used to closed source everything are trained to eat shit and find a workaround.

        Hi, Micro$oft Community Advisor Alicia here!

        I’m sorry to hear that your software occasionally crashes. Trying some of these steps may help you:

        • Go to Windows Update and search for the latest drivers
        • Run ‘sfc /scannow’ in command prompt
        • Reinstall Windows

        Please mark my post as “Answer” if this helped you solve your problem! Thank you!

          I told them I couldn’t get the Microsoft store to open and they told me to open the Microsoft store, what a bunch of morons. Ended up just reinstalling even though it was probably just a library issue.

        This is a good point and one I think explains this phenomenon well.

        Linux users are more willing to report bugs because they actually get fixed. Especially when the bug report is extremely detailed.

      Exactly. It goes the same way in development too. People who say XYZ lang is better than Rust because “you get so many compile errors” suffer from the same misconception: Just because the errors aren’t immediately obvious doesn’t mean they aren’t there.
