Back when I used Windows I didn’t use the command line much but did end up in the registry editor relatively frequently (after things broke or I needed to get things and the updates broke things (mouse stopped working, sudden performance drops, undid settings) every couple of updates culminating in Windows breaking its own bootloader and taking grub with it.
I personally found the registry editor really annoying to use and adding enties was quite difficult. I find editing the appropriate file a lot nicer.
Also as far as Linux updates go they have never broken my bootloader or made my system unbootable. Though my graphics drivers did stop working with the LTS kernel and I needed to select the default one again to update my grub config (an issue I would not have had if I had started with the default kernel).
So based on my experience Linux has been more stable and actually runs more programs that I like. The only thing I miss is Rufus which was my favourite ISO burner for USB sticks.
