Why is Linux stable?

<< < (3/3)

choasforages:
iv seen kde crash a few times. the only good thing is that i deostn' take the whole system with it

lazygamer:
My theory is that when running wind0ze, server systems without massive loads, or idleing systems(no activity) are more reliable.

The standard user is always opening and closing opening and closing etc.
He's multitasking the shit out of his comp, installing a game well surfing the net and listening to winamp. And when you actually play a game, HOLY SHIT! A shockwave of intensity hits your poor computer!

Summary? It's not just RAM and CPU usage. The more dynamic, erratic, and variable your activities are, the more error prone windows becomes. A server stays in one program the whole time, not having to randomly generate data and check all sorts of shit every second(like a high end computer game?).

he has a point, and when playing games and shit, there are more libarys that are in use that might have a bug. apache very stable on my systems, and thats with setiathome running. but as soon as i turn setiathome off and the desktop on, i have problems only on my main computer

Agent007:
Does this mean that in terms of home use, Windows will take more bashing than Linux? Also, r server systems actually less loaded? I mean a home user does 100's of things that a server dosent.

thanks and rgds,
