You're a liar. Suse does seem to be having some problems, but they're
being corrected as quickly as possible. Linux itself, kernel and distros,
are not junk, nor anything approaching junk.

You do realise that Windows is not perfect, don't you? That it can screw
things up just as badly, and with less chance of getting it fixed? That if
mishandled it can be a security nightmare?

Suse is not all of Linux. Cutting edge software with always have problems
- it's the price you pay for being at the front. Mandrake is a good
beginners distro, for instance; Debian is solid and well-tested; and there
are loads of others.
And who are these 'nutcases'?
