Windows is indeed a irredeemable piece of crap.
At best it can only be described as a kludge.

Unfortunately, if the programs you need to run are
only written for Windows, you are stuck with it.
99% of everyone is stuck with it.

Fortunately, Windows can be made somewhat stable with
a few simple steps.  Basically you debloat the hell
out of it.  Tiny 11 comes to mind.  And you remove
Fast Startup and shut the damned thing down at night.

You can run Windows programs in Linux with the Wine
application layer, but Wine is alpha stage code at
best.  Wine can be miserable to try to get to
run your Windows programs, if at all -- speaking of
your time being worth nothing.
