MacOS, so easy to use that even 5 year old me had no trouble using it. Also because of how reliable it is, my custom PC running Windows has crashed more times in the past year than all the Mac’s I’ve ever had combined (since 2007)
Windows is rock solid and doesn’t crash unless there are problems with a 3rd party driver or hardware like RAM. That’s why custom rigs can sometimes have problems because it’s not all controlled by one company.
I prefer Linux though. I find Windows annoying.
I'm not sure if this is a joke or not, but in case it isn't: Windows isn't stable at all, third party drivers or not. I've never had a Windows PC that I would describe as stable, including the preconfigured laptops and towers I've had. They all bluescreen and crash or freeze more or less regularly (but stability isn't what I care about when I run Windows).
I’ve have Windows for at least the last ten years and this has maybe happened at few times. Windows is still a privacy hell, but it is stable.
