Unix beards: "Stupid Windows forcing you to restart for updates!" My Linux workstation, while BTRFS is doing something, CPU pegged at 100% and I can't even browse the web: "LOL"

... I mean, you're using btrfs. Asking for it :P After hearing all the horror stories, and having some of my own with xfs, I'm sticking with ext4 everywhere by default. Ceph for big storage machines.
But yes, 100% uptime is irresponsible and windows doesn't make you reboot nearly as often as it used to.

If anything, Windows' sin is that rebooting *for updates* takes ages and sometimes multiple reboots. Kernel updates on Linux are just a normal reboot cycle. So while both need periodic reboots, on Windows those reboots cause significant downtime, while on Linux they don't.

Which is a fair criticism to Windows and one that (from my point of view) Microsoft has been addressing quite aggressively in the last few years. But if you look at it with the DiRT/ChaosMonkey in mind, has the side effect of reminding you uptime is not god.
