From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I was part of tech support for work until last year.
My list of ridiculous bugs is quite long.... Even down to basics like the microphone, using Microsoft office at all, windows explorer, and opening teams had bugs where people's work laptops were unusable for day to day tasks.
I may have just had ridiculous luck to avoid all bugs on both linux and windows
Most of the bugs i have seen on linux were actually from a friend i convinced to move to linux
