I have never, ever been in a position where unplugging a USB device bricked my Windows installation. Meanwhile, if a USB storage device on my laptop running Mint gets unplugged without being dismounted (which happens, it's a laptop), I better start backing shit up because that installation is now ruined. Next time I try to boot, it just won't.
When I tell Linux creatures this story, they act like I'm just making shit up, or I must just be retarded, as if it's my first time using a computer and I haven't extensively tested this for my own sake. That Linux has real issues is beyond them.
That literally is it, I tested it repeatedly because it wasn't a hobby OS, I needed it to work. It was one of the Mint 20 distros. The installation could be completely clean, five minutes old, sat idle the whole time. Thumb drive in, thumb drive out, restart, and it's locked up.

What are you doing at the time? Saying "when a USB gets unplugged, my installation is ruined" is not enough information to go off of.
