[ELI5] How is Linux more "stable" than other OS's?

I don't know a thing about Linux, but this is just what I've heard. 

Edit: Wow, thanks for all the answers!  Definitely have a better understanding of Linux :)  I might give it a shot for a bit, as a dual boot so I don't lose my Windows stuff.

Thanks!

Imagine you have 3 bags of treats. One is Oreos (Apple OSX), the other is Skittles (Windows), and finally Nutella (Linux). All of these treats are absolutely delicious.  With Oreos, it is what you get. Simple and clean, what you see is what you eat. With Skittles they come in different colors, but ultimately are the same.  Nutella, on the other hand, is defined by what you put it in/on. You can eat it like it is and it would be called Nutella, you could add it to a sandwich and it would taste different. This trend caught on very quickly and then a lot of people started making their own recipes of Nutella. And with time, and the help of a lot of people also loved Nutella, helped make it taste better. 

With the other two, you don't really have room to interfere with how you eat your treat.
