Why did you quote this one specifically? I only recently shut down a CentOS 5 system that ran for 3300 days.

Linux is very reliable when used continuously in a static environment (eg. a server). I mean, 3300 days is like what, 9 years? (!!)

But as a desktop... let's just say yesterday my friend brought their PC to my house and spent an hour and a half debugging a graphics card issue (yes, it was Nvidia) before we could play Distance (great game btw, highly recommend).

Oh please, you say this as though no one has ever spent literal days debugging Windows quirks and issues. Windows updates especially have nuked many systems.

I haven't had windows refuse to turn on after a update yet, but linux broke after a update. Probably wouldn't have happened with a different distro, but can happen in both camps.
