Windows online for 2 days and 15 hours without crashing or having to reboot for an update.
Clearly Photoshop'd. 🤣
I hate windows as much as the next linux user but I have to admit windows has been very stable for me despite having uptimes in the months with my work laptop.
Your preaching to the wrong crowd.
No Linux user is gonna go "perhaps your right, I should switch to windows for its stability"
You've had your work laptop run well for a few months with your on off daily usage. I'm sure there's many ppl here with various distros running for years without a single reboot.
Personally I have one running as a mediaserver that hasn't been offline in two years, and I'm sure that that's young in this forum.
I don't expect anyone to switch to windows, I'm just saying this myth about windows being unstable does not align with my experiences at all. I haven't even seen a blue screen since windows 7. All the weird behavior I encountered was fixed by replacing hardware, and without reinstalling windows. Sure, linux might run even longer without rebooting, but saying windows can't go past 2 days is just a gross exaggeration.
I literally turned on my work laptop yesterday and it blue screened on boot. (Win10). Didn't even get an uptime of 5 minutes. Its not a myth that windows is unstable (in comparison with Linux and macOS).
And B. Take a joke, clearly my initial post is taking the piss. Windows is less stable than Linux, simply a fact. Hence the comment so people can have a laugh.
My jellyfin server is on windows 11. It is stable for now. The day it crashes i will switch to linux.
