I tend to use a Mac, Windows and Linux at various points throughout my day, and as far as I can tell the errors seem to be like:

Linux: this went wrong with this process or file.

Mac: the stars have aligned incorrectly and we have lost our way, perhaps fate will one day bring back your Libreoffice file but there is no way of knowing

Windows: either a blank dialog box with 'okay' and 'cancel' on it, which both do the same thing, or an error report with 400 pages of nonsense in it, or the computer just turns off while you're still typing.
