What this actually shows is that Linux users are more technically proficient and more likely to put in the effort to file a bug report when they encounter a problem. It doesn't directly figure into the reporting rate, but Linux users also file better bug reports, likely due to the communal education and technical support that is so central to contemporary, personal Linux usage. Any newbie asking questions on a Linux forum, IRC, Matrix, or Discourse is bound to learn strong norms about including diagnostic info and other context in issue reports, as well as what asking useful questions looks like. Linux users end up helping to identify a hugely disproportionate number of the bugs that affect Windows users because of this.

But in itself it's a decidedly good thing for your software quality and the experience of your users to include Linux users in your user community.
