Why is Catalina the most unstable OS ever?

Ever since I updated from Mojave to Catalina, working on my laptop has become a nightmare. Kernel panics galore! I tried to reinstall the OS through Safe Mode. It failed the first time, so I did it again with Time Machine, and it worked. But the problems persisted. I can be browsing the internet, watching YouTube videos and all that, and the computer will crash 'because of a problem'. I have to use my phone to join meetings on Google Meet or Zoom, simply out of fear of the computer crashing.


Is there ANYTHING that can be done to fix this? Will Apple release any update soon that will finally get rid of these issues?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

Before I proceed to do anything, I just wanted to show this picture. The reason why there’s two of each is because, back when I tried to resolve things myself, following a guide, I think I created new ones and deleted APFS Volumes, despite not knowing exactly what that means (or does). I’m assuming it shouldn’t be like this.


I apologise for the picture appearing like this. I’m logged in from my phone.

Do I have to run Safe Mode in order to check that? Now that there's four of them, I'm confused by which is which. However, when I check the storage from 'About this Mac', I have two of Macintosh HD, the first one being the one where everything is stored, and the second one underneath has 9GB of used space, the rest (striped bar) are 'other volumes in container'. That one doesn't have an icon like the first Macintosh HD.
