Percentage of the way to being as good as all desktop operating systems ought, at a minimum, to be:

Windows: 70%

Linux: 20-80% depending on your hardware, what you're doing with it, and how lucky you got with the current kernel & libraries your distro is running.

MacOS: 90%

So when Apple fucks up really bad and MacOS temporarily drops to 70%, no, I still don't switch. Every desktop operating system is shitty, but there are degrees of shitty.

And yes, I use all three pretty regularly.

Crashing while doing your work is not "drops to 70%". That is the problem we were discussing and that is not a minor inconvenience.
