I haven’t had a Windows install completely brick itself, but I have seen Windows go into a try to update->update fails->rollback->updates are available->tries to update again… etc. infinite loop.
It’s been a while since I’ve had a Linux system brick that wasn’t me doing something stupid, though I’ve gotten a lot better at handling the occasional minor hiccup.
It’s a problem regardless of what OS it happens to. I’ve personally/professionally found it much more frequent that an update breaks something on linux vs. windows, but it’s also much easier to fix those issues & they’re rarely the kind of critical failure you get with a M$ OS.
(and if you truly crave stability, Debian is always happy to welcome you back into it’s big soft embrace)
yeah windows do be like that
I’ve yet to have one of my windows systems brick itself. Several of my Linux systems have.
