Because Linux is a beast lol.
But seriously I think it is because the plug-ins for linux are thoroughly tested before they are released. It is a shame more people do not use Linux, but they are making it more user friendly with each release. I just took Linux off my netbook recently just because I was impressed with 7 and was using it less. I still have a PC with Linux though.
