Yes, Linux is king. More stable, better hardware utilization. Better customizability. Linux just makes more sense.

More stable

Wellllll, I wouldn't go that far.

I just had to reboot because clicking anything in the browser randomly started sending the CPU utilisation to higher 70s, which was triggering the fans to spin at full power.

Then I ran a game on Steam and Steam said it's running, but it was nowhere to be found. Had to reboot again.

Both of these happened completely randomly after I changed nothing, just browsing the web.

Steam said it was running

Probably updating the client in the background, for some reason this is the default updating behavior on Linux unlike the visible progress bar on Windows
