During the years since I use Linux I experienced some of those issues too. But many times when I came in contact with mainstream operating systems like Windows and MacOS I saw similar problems and thought many times: "Good to know that it isn't any better outside of the Linux world"
Two extreme examples:
- A Windows which takes 4 hours to upgrade itself, after it did a forced reboot on the day the bachelor thesis had to be submitted
- A MacOS which brought itself to an unbootable state during a major upgrade
At least with Linux I have complete control over when updates happen (unlike on Windows). That way I can test the functionality of my system before it will be required.

I had to do that only a few days ago to repair the bootloader that had fried itself somehow. Of course you have to know what to look for, maybe this is possible with windows and macos too, but the way I always went with those was to do a fresh install.
