      I just can confirm. After my forays into Windows and Mac, I’ve always gone back to Linux on my desktop for web development and system administration. Personally, Linux makes so many things so much easier for me.

      I love Linux and I’ve used it almost exclusively for 10 years. That said, Windows and MacOS have always been more stable for me than any desktop Linux distro.

      For instance, when a Linux desktop starts getting overloaded it has been my experience that the UI will start to lag. MacOS and Windows seem to give a higher priority to processing UI elements so that even when the system becomes overloaded it still presents a smooth UI (even if programs are not responding). Similarly I have never had the window manager, or display manager crash on Windows or MacOS, but I have encountered DE instability many times on Linux.

      Servers that I’ve run with Linux are a different story. Without a GUI or audio I’ve never had a single problem.
