I'd say us Linux folk are probably more likely to identify an issue and report it as well. It takes a special determination to run Linux, and I'd wager that Linux users have a keep eye for undefined behavior, feature requests, and wonky workarounds.
Once time I updated a Linux box and the Nvidia drivers downloaded and started to build like usual, but there were tons of errors. After the graphics drivers failed GCC updated and rebuilt itself. Switching kernels fixed the problem. It took me a week to submit a ticket to Nvidia and then another 3 days of working with support before we realized that the Nvidia drivers were built with an outdated GCC and then GCC was updated afterwards. So when we checked GCC version it was the proper version, but the drivers were already built with the old version.
If it was a Windows box I would have formatted it after 12 hours and called it a day.
