I find all three (Linux, MacOS and Windows) to be fairly stable. It's been many many years since I've run into either BSOD on Windows or the beach ball of death on Mac. My guess is faulty hardware. I've had plenty of those on the 2018 MBP (keyboard getting stuck, bulging battery and dead zones on touchbar). Waiting to see if the QC is better with new M1 Pros before buying.
