Linux outages and upgrade fuckups happen all the time. The difference is that Linux isn't on a unified upgrade cycle so issues come as a trickle rather than a dulge, so the problems are usually localised to a corporation and don't make the news.

Also Linux fanboys will usually blame the system admin for not configuring things properly if things break: "it's not the operating system, it's <something stolen from OpenBSD>".

End of the day Linux is only popular because of the inertia UNIX had on mini-computers/servers. For standard end users GNU Linux is lightyears behind Windows and macOS in terms of usability and stability.
