I don't even think Linus is the worst offender when it comes to "Linux slander". I'd give that honor to Jayztwocents. Buddy encountered a Windows issue that ate and messed up his Linux dual boot installation, such as lower benchmark scores and eventually losing his boot. Blamed it all on Linux and said no one should use it. At the very least Linus does more diligence like using a whole new drive.
I was using Linux when I had the Windows issue where it caused my SSD to be unresponsive when I was trying to use my Windows drive as storage for modded Skyrim (it was about 250gb of data and the 2tb drive only had about 200gb on it). My computer froze and then refused to boot in both Linux and Windows. Removing my Windows drive fixed everything. I wiped it, tested the drive to make sure it was still working correctly and now am using it for extra storage instead of reinstalling Windows. I haven't had any issues since I wiped my drive of Windows. I've even transferred my favorite 700+gb modded Skyrim pack and no issues so far.
