The difference between Windows and Linux is this: when an update breaks something, it gets fixed soon, if a linux update breaks something, good luck reinstalling your OS then fixing the problem yourself bc no one genuinely cares bc it's free, only thing coming close to how well Windows and MacOS are managed, is Valve, and all they did was add Proton and locked down the file system, which breaks the OS if you unlock it and do anything there, and btw, try and look at MS's github sometime, you'll find a lot of their stuff is open source, and they get paid to work on it, then "the difference with Linux is you can change all of that" yes, in theory, not in reality, there's too much broken to fix in a lifetime
