I'm using Windows 10 right now as my main machine. I never experienced any crashes/blue screens except when my GPU started failing, but I can't count that against the OS. It is the most stable system I have ever used. Windows 11 on the other hand seems absolutely horrible to me. The privacy issues and anti user patterns keep piling on. I'm open to switch to a Linux distro (and use it on all my servers anyway), but they all seem horrible on desktop. A few weeks ago I installed Ubuntu for testing, set a light background and wanted to change the text colors of the desktop. Not possible, except if you want to start messing with some CSS files. I also wanted to add an app shortcut to the desktop, also not possible without some extension and then the icons sometimes don't match and not all apps were supported. If they would just create feature parity with the Windows Explorer, Windows might be toast in a few years, but it seems there is just no interest in that.
