They might have been better at the small subset of things Windows and Ubuntu can do that the Amiga and ST were also capable of, but they are not "better".
A single screwdriver is better than a toolbox at being light and easy to carry. It is not better overall.
And I'll look you right back and call bullshit. I used an Amiga in the late eighties. It was a fantastic machine for its time, certainly more advanced than the contemporary 286 PCs, but Windows 95 was markedly superior (as it should have been, a decade later), let alone modern Windows or Linux.
Yes, sometimes things get screwed up and we get understandably frustrated, but that does not license revisionist history.
