Sorry that's just uninformed BS. Solaris was/is rock solid, its engineering is 1st class, it pioneered ZFS and other technologies, new init processes, NFS, ONC-RPC, R/O root, zones/jails, etc etc.
ZFS provides features that other file systems have yet to provide, eg full COW, snapshots etc.
Linux is great, I use it every day and its solid in a cloud environment. But to say its clean inside the kernel is a mistake. It reflects its development model, messy, with management by consensus and a benevolent dictator in Linus.
But don't call something a "pile of crap" without evidence or condemn engineering in the 90s with 20/20 (or 2019) hindsight.
