From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I feel like "everything breaks on linux" was created by Microsoft to sell windows lol
I kind of think it's just reputational hangover. Everyone remembers how bad Windows Vista was because Windows XP had been so great, however Microsoft came along with Windows 7 and improved the windows reputation. In the Linux world people aren't really doing big promos which garner a lot of media attention regarding new kernel versions or new DE's. Ubuntu is really the closest this ever comes but I'm sure if there was someone being a bit more like "Arch 2028! Our most stable version yet!" and hyped it all up and did a bunch of promos the reputation would shift more.
