Windows can be reinstalled, Linux bugs never go away by themselves.
> You chose to debug the issue and help.
No, people don't do that in Windows because Microsoft has much better QA/QC. Not a single Windows update since 1998 has rendered my system unbootable. Microsoft is certainly not perfect and Windows sometimes has regression but those normally affect very few people.
> Is it tens of thousands, or hundreds?
Windows installation user base: 2 billion. Linux: 40 million. Have fun with mental gymnastics.

There's a huge number of bugs affecting "stable" Linux distros that use "stable" software including the kernel. Linux bugs are not specific to the bleeding edge but they are more prominent.

This is not a counter argument and I will not waste any more of my time with you. Try using the dictionary argument with your children, "You are a retard, my boy! Why? Look it up in the Merriam Webster dictionary, that's why".
