My experience is summed up as: -If it is broken in Linux, I will have to fix it, but with knowledge the errors are diagnosable and reparable -If it is broken in Windows, it has a decent chance that it will fix itself. However once it fails to fix itself, then it's maddening to figure out how to repair it leading to the "screw it, just reinstall"

So if neither one breaks, congratulations, they both seem pretty solid.

If a fairly common breakage occurs, Windows looks weird but it fixes itself, Linux meanwhile bleats what is an arcane error to a non-tech person, maybe refusing to boot.

If a really stubborn breakage occurs, advantage back to Linux as at least a skilled person has a chance of repairing it.
