Well, at least since you mentioned Lenovo, this vendor does have problems with firmware on its devices. On the other side, neither of my colleagues had ever problems with their working environment on Windows (I've developed a lot of very different products on Java, which indeed requires a lot of automation and containerization these days, so it's an multi-OS environment by its nature). There's something wrong either with how you use it or which hardware do you choose. Probably, this OS is simply not for your style of work, just like Linux is not for others. I don't think it's the OS fault.
