shutting down his machine by pulling the plug while it was running
Well, if windows was more reliable when it comes to unexpected shutdowns then it is also partially linux's fault.
I have a similar experience as well. I have a pi server and I was trying to use an ntfs external hdd. For some reason it breaks the file system if I remove hdd or shutdown pi unexpectedly. I am not expecting there to be no data loss if i am not writing or editing a file, just doing nothing, then why FS breaks?
When that happens, I connect hdd to Windows and it is able to repair it but there is no such option in ubuntu
