Considering the people who seem to have issues are the ones who go out of their way to be all "Linux good/Microsoft bad" I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume most of it is total bullshit.
I've built half a dozen PC's running windows 10 from scratch and not a single one of them has gotten messed up during the incredibly straightforward install/update process. It's so dumb simple compared to virtually anything else I just don't get how you could even have problems.
Listening to Windows problems on here from Linux users (I use both btw just to avoid the inevitable pedantry) is like watching a toddler throw a fit because he found out you have to peel a banana before you eat it, but their favorite fruit is an orange.
Got to admit, that's one hell of a response. Can be used in many situations.
Considering a simple google search of these terms brings up multiple people whose position on Linux and Microsoft is completely unknown to anyone else but themselves, having the exact problem OP is posting about, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you've attached your identity to Microsoft and have to defend them for some reason.
I've been using Computers for nearly 30 years, and Windows has come a LONG way in that time. But lets not pretend windows doesn't shit the bed sometimes. Hell a simple google search will reveal articles like this one and a large number of results of peoples PC's having issues after windows update. Youtubers have made videos on windows update issues.
I had one of my PC's straight up boot loop after a routine windows update and had to use a recovery to fix it, only for windows to auto update and re boot loop itself immediately afterwards. Most of the time, windows updates are fine, but sometimes they fuck shit up.
See your argument might hold water if "stuff people talk about" were something applicable only to Windows/Linux fights. (Windows can lick my fuzzy horse ass, btw---)
But like. People love to meme on how SystemD makes your computer hang up for a long while when shutting down? Never saw it happen. People meme on PulseAudio breaking? Never happened to me. Shit like that.
