Linux does crash. I've seen it crash yesterday. It depends on the hardware you're using.

When it crashes it's 100% a problem in kernel space. Driver issues, compatibility issues. It is NOT an app. The OS should not give the privilege to an app to crash anything else other than itself.

What you MEANT to say is Linux crashes less than before and likely never crashes for certain hardware.

OVERALL linux will still crash MORE than windows when you look at everything holistically.

Buy hardware designed for Linux and you will have no problems. Ideally, with preinstalled Linux.

Hardware designed for linux. What does that even mean? Does intel make CPUs designed for linux? No. You don't know what you're talking about.

All hardware on my system have drivers available from the manufacture SO ALL of the hardware is "designed" for linux. It's just like the OP said there is poor support. So there's bugs in the software because all bug fixing resources are aimed at fixing Windows issues. So basically even the THOUGHT of buying specifically designed hardware for windows is non-existent for windows because basically it ALWAYS works.

For windows the OS and hardware are designed to always work and that's all they care about. This is a major major feature that Linux DOES NOT have. Linux is inferior in every way on this aspect.

No user cares about the morality or the reasoning behind why this windows works with so much hardware. They are concerned with tools that help them achieve their objective. Linux is definitively worse than this on many aspects than windows OR OSX.

It's impossible to have good support for every available software. My Purism laptop works without issues for years. No crashes, no problems with WiFi or suspend. Just buy preinstalled Linux, like I did.

That's why linux is inferior. For windows I don't need to buy preinstalled. I can buy whatever I want.

>It's impossible to have good support for every available software.

Except windows pretty much does this. Yeah there's shady business tactics involved but at the end of the day users just want something that works. Linux fails at doing this. So I don't know why you're advising me to buy preinstalled. I can do that, but it just means Linux is FORCING me to do that because it is an inferior OS from a usability standpoint.

Buying preinstalled solves my problem but it only invalidates your point while validating my point.

It just means that the manufacturer received Windows certification. Similar thing exists for Linux.

Did you just compare the Linux community with a trillion-dollar company?

I don't need certification. I can custom build a computer and pretty much not ever be worried about incompatibility with windows. Such certifications aren't really things a regular user needs to think about for windows.

>Did you just compare the Linux community with a trillion-dollar company?

I'm comparing Linux to Windows. And I'm saying Linux is inferior from a usability standpoint. So yes I am saying the Linux community built an OS ecosystem that is INFERIOR in terms of usability to an OS ecosystem built by Microsoft. That is a Fact.
