I never had crashes of Linux on the last 5 years, except 2 or 3 because I was using all the whole RAM and the system freezed. However, I had blue screens with Windows 10 on the same hardware, plus that Windows 10 it's nearly useless on a magnetic HDD.

Linux (and possibly BSDs, did not test) has broken OOM killer, which works the right way only if your swap is disabled. To prevent these situations from happening you need to install EarlyOOM.

Or an M.2 SSD. I can go deep into swap and only notice a slight chugging.
