When people say a bad OS can fuck up /dev/urandom what do they mean by that?

I think i am being ultra paranoid here.
So if i want to generate a strong random seed it doesn't depend on say hardware?
I mean if i have old PC will it generate less random seed compared to new gen PC?
If i use electrum on linux vs windows which is more better to generate random seed?


it doesn't depend on hardware. either windows, linux, android or OSx is fine. electrum uses a cryptographically secure random number generator on all OS.
