If anything Linux Desktops are way less stable than Windows Desktop. Try crashing a graphics driver on Linux and see what happens and compare that to Windows (it restarts without interrupting operation). Most of the Linux schedulers are awful for interactive use as well. I'm forced to use Debian and Scientific Linux installations at work, they are so much worse at basically anything I've experienced both on Windows and macOS it is not even funny.
- gima 9y agoI experience somewhat frequent GPU crashes when playing Diablo3 under Wine with the integrated i3-4150 GPU, but the graphics stack recovers by itself in about a minute. I can then continue from where I left off, sans the application that crashed with it.
- orbifold 9y agoUnder Windows the recovery is instant, there is an audible bell and a popup window in the taskbar saying something along the lines of: "The graphics driver has crashed and has been restarted". In any case by now I'm pretty sick of Linux fanboys making fun of people using other operating systems. Using Linux as a Desktop OS, especially if your are not given a chance to modify the installation is an exercise in self-flagellation.
