"Major linux distros" are mostly running on the servers in the headless mode, with most of the updates never even bothering the end-users.

"Major Windows distro" has video, sound, peripheral, network drivers; user software which is not a part of the operating system updates, VisualC redistributables, .NET version and it runs on anything from $100 10 years old system which is not even officially supported[0] to the latest $$$$ laptops, which still has shitty drivers because anyone capable of writing a good driver is not working in Intel or Broadcom, or retired for 10 years already.

Comparing Linux and Windows update models is... quite a futile endeavour, they are different.

[0] but billg is still blamed for the BSODs despite that

Linux runs on everything from a toaster to a supercomputer. No excuses.

Three cheers for Puppy Linux!
