OTOH, my work bought me a top of the line Macbook in 2020, and there's been many annoyances I've had to live with too, including strange bugs that Apple never seems to fix.

I also have an older Macbook Air, and when I tried to auto-update it to the latest MacOS, the update process corrupted my partition and lost all my files (thankfully backed up in the cloud).

Also had issues with Windows Update being broken out of the box when I tried to set up a PC for my mom with Windows 8. Seriously, I needed to manually download an update on a thumb drive to fix windows update. Like, how did this OS release ever pass QA?

I would honestly say Linux on the desktop and on laptops is pretty good in my experience, and if it had just a little more support from hardware vendors it would be near-perfect. I would definitely say that compared to Windows, the Linux experience is a lot better.
