Wherever you need rock solid reliability, Linux is superior. Besides most 
Internet servers, all 500 top super computers and all CGI rendering farms, 
Linux is just more solid. I've never had a BSOD on Linux. I've never had 
Linux corrupted by an update (or corrupted in such a way that wouldn't allow 
an update). I've never had "Registry" file corruption which would not allow 
an application install or uninstall. I've never had malware or a virus in 18 
years of Linux use. Obviously Linux a superior OS... period. Unfortunately, 
for game players, most PC games are designed for Windows. So they're stuck 
with an inferior OS. For me, fortunately, I don't play PC video games on my 
computers, so a non-problem for me.
