Question Which operating system do you use the most?

Which operating system does everyone use constantly? I assume many people will choose Windows, but I am wondering why you have stuck to the operating system you are used to using? If you could improve anything to your user experience what would it be?

I'm on Windows, mainly because I can't be bothered switching. It really has gone downhill over the last few years with the windows 8/10 tag-team shit-combo, but I'm too busy with real life stuff to make time to switch over.

My current desktop is a Windows machine that dual boots with Linux Mint, but I'm hoping to upgrade in the near future and will be running just Linux. I'm a distro-hopper on my laptop, so I haven't nailed down a single distro of choice, thinking Fedora Cinnamon or ElementaryOS, but we'll see. I also quite like PoP_OS!, been using it for a while on my laptop and it's just a very solid distro.

I'm using Windows 10, ya ken?

We Scots always say ken rather than "you know".

I'm a simple man, Windows 10 is fine and I know it inside and out.

I have a Macbook Pro but I'm not enamored with MacOS. It's fine and straightforward, but sometimes it's so simple it feel unintuitive to someone like me who is so used to Windows. I suppose that will change as I use it more.

Windows 10 64 bit Pro. Love it.

I've used a lot of them. My current laptop is Windows. But I also really enjoy MacOS. Only real Linux I've experienced was back in the day on the OG PS3, it was awesome!

I really liked OS/2 Warp, but it fell by the way side once Windows95 was released.

Windows 10 for me as I’ve been using it all my life and used to the way it works. I find the others hard to work with.

So you are like 5 years old? Windows 10 hasn't been around very long. lol

Exactly what I thought when I read this post; If that post doesn't make you feel old, I am not sure what will

Also, how do you find the others hard to work with if you've only used Windows 10 all your life? LOLOL

I like it a lot, sure beats the Samsung ROM that comes on the phone originally..

When you say all of your Windows stuff, what stuff do you mean? Also you could always run Linux (would recommend Ubuntu) and use either KVM or just virtual box. That way you can have all of your general use data on linux, while still being able to install a Windows virtual machine for any gaming, editing, or anything else you may need Windows for.

I still fire up a Windows virtual machine whenever I want to play steam games, but I generally nuke the VM whenever I am done. Call me paranoid
