Hello to that Forum,
my Question is, if is Microsoft Win or Linux Ubuntu Studio, a more stable Operating System for Ardour?
I tried it with Linux Ubuntu Studio, but sometimes there is a crash in this system.
My PC is an Intel i5, 14400 with 16 Gb Ram.
my second Question is, in which Country the money for the Ardour Download File is going?
Thank you,
Flo
There’s no possible answer to your post title, because the right answer for you depends on other things.
For your rephrased question about just stability, Linux is probably the best by a small amount over macOS.

What version of Ardour were you using with Ubuntu Studio? Their Ubuntu package or Ardour’s own bundle from this site?
Hello,
thank you for the answers.
I use the Package from the Ubuntu Studio site.
I will buy it from our site in the nearly future.
Thank you,
Flo
For Ardour on Windows the main restriction is a limitation for the number of audio clips a session can open (basically, you can only have around 2,000 clips open simultaneously). So if you’re doing really hefty work like dubbing a feature film, Ardour or Mixbus on Windows won’t have anywhere near enough capacity. But for more normal work, such as recording your own songs, I’ve found very little difference whether running the Linux version or the Win version.
There is no built in limit. and some Windows users (e.g. @oofus) manage to load a lot more. It is only limited by your hardware.
Linux is the better for you! 
Not on Windows Robin… It’s not the fault of Ardour of Mixbus but they use glib which in turn, uses the older (DOS style) file handles. And (unless something changed in Windows 11) all previous versions of Windows have always limited apps usiing DOS files to only 2,048 simultaneously open files (in fact in much earlier Windows releases it was 2,048 files shared between all apps! 
Simple, nobody ever would use more than 640K RAM and 2^11 files
