technology Which operating system do you use ?

[Angle Alastor 3,805]

So everyone probably knows everyone that you guys use mac or windows or even ubuntu (linux).

So what is your favorite operating system that you are using ?

for me im trying out linux and really liking it much better then windows constant updates.

[luftschloss 831]

I have used all of the ones you've mentioned, but my favorite so far has been Windows. 

[sciencewill98 157]

I've used both mac and windows and I considerably prefer windows.

[Nightfall Gloam 18,237]

I use Microsoft Windows 10 on my main laptop, but I would love to buy another laptop and put Linux on it at some point...

[Inky Well 2,946]

I tried linux several times and always had a reason to return to Windows. But now, when Win10 was released it stays the best OS for me. =3

It has really sweet terminlal and Powershell is great for scripting. (much more comfy than Linux bash)

Updates never really bothered me: it takes minute or two in couple weeks (or month? I'm not sure).

[Techno Universal 2,575]

Well I've got Windows 10 on my main PC but I've used Mac OS a few times before at school. Anyways I use IOS 9.3.5 all the time as that's the version I have on my IPad!

[Here No Longer 5,270]

I've only used Windows, and currently have Windows 7. I like Windows aside from the constant updates that begin to wear on the computer over time. Probably have installed more gigs worth of updates than I have of games. -_-

[Cash In 21,534]

Windows 10, even though I don't think that it's very good.

[Twisted Cyclone 🚓 6,221]

I use Windows 7. Not really a fan of Windows 10 so that's why I haven't upgraded.

[Will Guide 21,325]

Windows 10. 

Although my laptop itself which I'd have since Christmas 2013 doesn't seem to be reading my disc drive anymore. I might need to bring it in for repairs.

[Roughtek 54]

Window 10, because I woke up one day and it was there, thanks Microsoft for your forced update.

[Total Lunar Eclipse 515]

Mac. I'm really irritated by Apple lately, but all the Windows computers I've had lasted 3-5 years max and all the Macs I've had lasted 7+ years, plus the Macs never needed maintenance... Plus I'm visually impaired and Mac has better accessibility software, and I'm not really a gamer.

I use Windows 7 on my desktop and 10 on my Surface Pro 3.  Can't say I'm happy with 10 as it's in a perpetual bata stage, but it is better than 8 at least, which is what my Surface came with initially.  

I've messed around with Linux ever since the the early Slackware days.  I've used pretty much every major distro at one time or another, but none of them have the range of software I'm interested in.  I also find support too fragmented to be very useful.  Still, I'm glad it's still around and I'll probably play around with it again sometime, just to see what progress it's made.  Unfortunately, I don't expect the same from the support perspective.

I'm running Windows 10. I've been wanting to get into Linux as I want to have a backup in case Microsoft tries to lockdown everything to the godawful Windows store.

I wish i could use linux but none of my pcs will install it. I tried everything. I use Windows 10. I hate it so much. Ive had over 4 windows systems and, i always had trouble with them. I just have horrible luck.

[Celtore 2,769]

I've been a Linux guy for years. I like the control I have over it; what initially pushed me away from windows was when windows update force rebooted my machine on me. I've also grown to enjoy the open nature of the project. I can be fairly confident that the code powering it has been audited by many eyes and that Linus Torvalds and the rest of the team doesn't have some kind of ulterior motive driving them.

Currently I'm using Elementary specifically because I really like its default setup and I know enough to be able to fix anything that annoys me. Though I am considering moving to Debian testing later and setting up something nice and lightweight.

[Phosphor 11,522]

All of my computers have Windows 10 and I hate it. Same thing at work, except for PC's running instruments (those have to stay on XP and off the internet) The updates slow things to a crawl, tho my old gaming rig does fine. Also, I do have occasional issues with Windows 10 not playing nice with the drivers for my astronomy cameras. 

I may be looking into Linux.

[EpicEnergy 22,096]

I use Windows 10 as an operating system.

[Splashee 28,537]

Linux for my telephone exchange.
Windows 7 for my work computer.
Windows 10 for my stupid computer (it does Facebook and all that automatically, so I don't have to bother with that )
Windows Server 2003 for my fun computer.
Windows 95 for my slow computer.

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

I use Windows 10 for my PC. I think the old navy computer I have uses Windows 7 but I’m not sure cause my sibling uses that computer way more than me.

[Vefka 1,499]

Windows 7 for my old slow laptop

Windows 10 for my new upcoming laptop

[Pentium100 2,057]

More than one OS. Debian Linux for most of my servers, Ubuntu Linux for a couple of UMPCs. Different versions of Windows for some other servers and PCs.

[DixonTheAdversary 1,631]

I have Windows 10 on my PC and Windows 8.1 on my old laptop.

[RaraLover 10,410]

I'm currently using Windows 10 on my laptop. I also have installed Linux as a virtual environment on my laptop, which I mostly use for my university work. It's sort of like having two operating systems on one computer, but the primary one for my laptop is Windows.

[Astralshy 23,600]

I'm using windows and linux operating systems. Windows for gaming and linux for work and stuff which is done better within a linux environment. On my pc I have windows 10 and linux installed separately and on my other devices I'm using a linux distribution only.
