Through my own experiences not just what I’ve read
Right. You can’t say “empirically [based on my hands-on experience] YOU are getting things mixed up”. That’s not how reality works.
It’s like saying: “I just ate great breakfast, therefore world hunger doesn’t exist”.
ESPECIALLY with things as fragmented as Linux.
Google and Valve are US companies so I don’t think people are sticking it to the US when they use their products
More and more people are getting interested in /e/OS, GrapheneOS, and LineageOS, turning away from Google. Valve is always considered to be “that one good company” so they’re in a pretty good spot, but even with that, more people are showing interest in GOG than before.
Install and forget, the only issue I’ve had that isn’t a 5 minute fix is a broken pipe error on updates that doesn’t interfere with anything.
I’m really glad you had a great experience with Linux, truly. Now go and read my first comment in this thread to see the other side of the fence.
Have you tried either?
See above.
Windows is always blue screening, black screening, or having apps freeze
When was the last time you tried Windows? 20 years ago? 15 years ago? Because “always blue screening” suggests something like that.
Windows 10 and 11 are on par with MacOS in terms of stability, mate.

It’s support for others, how else do I empirically test it?
Hold on… You’re saying that you supported other people using Linux, and NEVER encountered ANY issues?
I don’t believe you. :)
The most difficult case was someone trapped in VIM
