win 9x was absolutely worse and a lot less stable than the NT lineage (that we're currently in). classic macos was absolutely worse and less stable than the NeXTSTEP lineage we're currently in. I used linux for the first time in 1998 with Red Hat 5.2 and it was an absolute pain to get working/install and a lot of hardware was unsupported. At least it didn't crash as much as windows 9x!
