Whichever OS you use is the one that will give you the most problems, and once in a while problems that are difficult to fix that require the command line. When I was on Windows I had plenty of problems that were just as difficult to fix as you described. I usually leave Ubuntu running for weeks or months, rarely having to reboot and it's highly stable. I've never come even close to that with Windows.
