This has an absurd presumption that something is only stable when there are zero problems with it. Fault free software, except in extremely trivial examples, does not exist in nature. BTW, this points out another BS aspect of your BSD fan-boy crap, the BSD userbase is only a tiny fraction of how many people use Linux. So you can't even compare the number of outstanding problem reports between the two.
