Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows" (www.xda-developers.com)

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

More stable, haha. I was just randomly surfing around and my computer goes to sleep and can't wake up.

Also randomly, my computer won't go into sleep mode when I close my laptop. It works about 90% of the time, but that 10% is when I pull my laptop out of my laptop bag and my computer is on fire and fans full blast trying to cool itself. The OS came from IBM installed.

Of course this gets downvoted... Linux shilling is insane

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.

You dont have to restart your Computer, you can also just kill a task.

To make it simple use something like mission center

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
