What is your preferred computer operating system?

 

[Athos]

Been using Windows since version 3.1 (on floppy disks). I will die using it I imagine. Can't imagine changing to anything else at this point.

MacOS for work

Windows for personal

 

[neoprema]

The correct answer is:

MacOS for everything except;
Windows for gaming.
Linux for Servers.

Unless you have a console, then MacOS for everything except servers.

Windows, but Linux is arguably 100 times better at everything except gaming and mainstream apps.
one could extend it to android, as thats an OS in its own right

 

[My_King]

I want to be edgy and say Linex, but Windows is the majority of life for me.

 

[Rickster]

If all Windows games + programs ran natively on Linux I would jump in a heartbeat but unfortunately that will never happen.

Stuck on Windows for now.

Extremely... conflicted.

Been using MacOS for more than a year now, after having used Windows for my entire life.

I enjoy the Macbook to a large extent but I don't know whether that's because MacOS is good or Apple Silicon is good or whether having a native *Nix style environment is what's good.

I still prefer Windows as an OS but won't go back to it because the laptops are generally slow(er) and loud(er)... And I'm not going to force myself to use WSL2 when the native *Nix experience on MacOS/Linux is better.

It has always been Windows, but recently i have been looking at, and testing out, Fedora KDE on an old laptop. Windows 11 just pisses me off.

 

[notayoba]

Other: I hate them all

Windows 11: Disaster
MacOS: I refuse to join the cult
Linux: Neckbeard too short
ChromeOS: I have actual work to do

Bring back Win 7 or 10

Winblows for work, and Linux on my home machines for the past 15 years.

 

[Brian_G]

Linux offers enough alternatives / clones / better s/w these days, hardly ever touch Windows anymore. Far more like Windows to use now as well, close to good enough there.

(Ubuntu)

 

[airborne]

Windoze, as do all members of the Master Race
Wannabes who didn't make the cut use MacOS
Supreme beings use Linux, thats the final boss and the moment when Zen has finally been attained.

Same. Especially for work I have too many apps that won't work on Linux. That said - windows really irritates me once a year and had its minor annoyances but the rest of the time I'm fine with it. Still on 10.

Windows... it's fine thanks...

 

[Smiggles]

Work: Windows
Personal: macOS
MacOS is just much much nicer with less issues. Perhaps Windows 12 will be better again.

MacOS for everything except;
Windows for gaming.
Linux for Servers.

now this is the best answer I have read

 

[Fulcrum29]

For now, Windows. Linux is improving. I am talking about daily-driver use.

I am quite certain that certain gamers who have switched to Linux did so to cheat.
