@7 I see this point repeated often without further clarification, what exactly is more buggy?

I can tell you from personal experience that with a reasonably modern Linux distro, my laptop works out of the box without any problems and I've not experienced any significant system-level bugs in a long time.

Meanwhile in Windows, my sound doesn't work at all when I wake up the laptop from sleep, Windows update tries to override the GPU driver with an older version from Windows update and every time I have > 10 Chrome tabs open, the whole system locks up regularly. Not to mention that the Windows registry is still a complete mess and trying to COMPLETELY remove a piece of software is an impossible task.

I am not saying Linux is perfect and yes, Windows works better in the games department, but I am not sure I'll call Windows less buggy.
