What is your preferred computer operating system?

That Windows 11 experience just can't be replaced, am I right?

Windows 11 certainly is speshul ... it is the thing that finally broke me

through a lifetime of Microsoft OS's from MS-DOS through pretty much every flavour of Windows despite playing around with various Linux distros I just never took the plunge

until Windows 11 made the choice easy, and Linux Mint replaced it as my daily

At the moment Windows

 

[Cius]

Windows for gaming and personal although I wish there were better alternatives available for home use.
Linux for servers. Android for mobile.

 

[Roo!]

Preferred and what I use at home: macOS
What the work forces on me: Win 11

I was playing with it for fun in a VM last week.

It chows like no resources

I am sure that you can beat it, but I am not willing to face the learning curve to change operating systems. As long as it works it is good enough for my purposes.

Windows 7. And I’ve run Start8, Start10 and now Start11 for years, and it all looks like Windows 7.

Yeah Windows 11 was the version that made me switch fully over to Linux, because it showed Microsoft doesn't respect it's users. Greedy invasive corporate decisions throughout Windows 11.

Windows because I'm a creature of habit, and nothing else is really worth the effort for doing casual stuff at home. I really dislike Android, so likely to go back to Huawei and whatever the Chinese are using now.

PC is Windows. Router is Linux. RPi is Linux. Other router is BSD.

Have an Ubuntu Server VM in Hyper-V as well.

I use them all. My dad lives with me and he has a mac mini which I inevitably have to use on his behalf sometimes.
