Yeah people often forget the sheer amount of quality checks and testing that windows updates go through. Sure it might do annoying things like changing your default browser but it never truly breaks.
There’s also the fact that Windows native antivirus is so good that installing antivirus software is actually a downgrade. On Linux meanwhile you gotta run third party antivirus.
It should not happen if you use debian, Ubuntu or Mint stable. As long you don’t do anything exotic it should not break, at not since 2018.
And if it breaks remember you compare free software made by volunteers (and paid employees from companies) with much less money and they still manage to compete with the multi billion dollar company Microsoft.
For gamers-only maybe lmao
E: and people willing to spend several hours a month wondering why their OS broke again
If you don’t tinker like the usual Linux user your os won’t break more often than windows
Explain that to my Ubuntu install that killed itself over a package dependency no longer existing in the repo.
As I said, not more often than windows
A normal software installation never broke a Windows install in my life.

Windows updates break my clock… Idk about this claim that it doesn’t break stuff.
This comment is a prime example of a drowning man trying to pull up by the straw
I don’t follow… And that’s not an actual expression
In my experience windows just breaks as often. Depending on hardware and software used.
Yes it might be better for windows 11 I haven’t run that yet. And windows 10 almost never broke either so it is maybe better now
It literally almost never happens for windows yet Linux is generally most famous by this one thing

If you stick to Ubuntu you usually don’t have that problem IMHO.
