I am not so sure about that...maybe you don't run updates in the background but some of the distros do and there are random strange problems until you reboot. Windows is definitely worse at that but Linux is not 100% safe either. Also there is always a chance that your Linux update will cause things to stop working, it happened to me a lot more often than with Windows. If you have a tablet without kb attached Linux is a major PITA as the on screen kb and touchscreen work 90% of the time and then randomly stop. If you think that 90% is good, try it and see for yourself...spoiler: try to unlock your screen when kb is not working...or try to select a menu that keeps closing as soon as you touch it without selecting the item...or try to search for application in Gnome activities with touchscreen. It is so, so close but not quite there yet...and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. NixOS is another great idea with sub-par implementation. Two things that made me wipe it off the computer: 1) compile your own program and now try to run it on NixOS computer...good luck. 2) upstream program is marked as abandoned, I guess you don't need it until someone starts maintaining it again...W.T.F!!!!
