This might be an unpopular view here, but here goes: Back in the day (1994-1995) Windows (non-NT) crashed and glitched constantly. Linux was a rock by comparison.

That's no longer my experience. Modern Windows is quite stable. Modern Linux gives me more issues, systemd related sometimes, and every time I update and get a new kernel, I have to struggle to get wifi back.

I will admit that my Windows 10 sometimes reboots itself overnight for updates, but other than that I often have quite long uptimes on it.
