What operating system (OS) are you using and why?
#1
I'm a full time Linux user who occasionally uses Windows for gaming only. I like Linux for its stability and privacy. I want to know exactly what is installed on my system and avoid bloat to keep my system snappy.

I used Windows for more than 10 years and been using Linux for like 3 years now. During my time with Linux, I have learned more about computers and how they work than I ever knew when using Windows. For me, it felt like Windows kept me locked in a cage and discouraged learning. Dealing with frustrations like forced updates, BSODs, freezes also drove me crazy.



#2
I mostly use windows on the main system just because there are a few things i use regularly which i haven't been able to find a good substitute for on linux yet



#3
I oy use windows because it is easy to use and I dont have to hassle everything and switch it over



#4
I use Windows for my gaming needs but for work I'm in the design industry so I've been using my Mac as there's a certain workflow that I prefer that Apple provides. The ease of flow between all Apple devices is great for my work.



#5
Linux, Mac and Windows... depends on the use case



#6
Mac for convenience



#7
Windows 10 Home, because the upgrade was free! I'm also too lazy to try and switch to something Linux based.



#8
I mainly use Linux but switch to Windows for gaming. I thought that it'd be hard to use Linux but the OS I have is easy to use and the basic layout of it isn't all that different from Windows while offering much more options than Windows.



#9
Windows cause im used to it and I dont like changes
Ive been running Linux (ubuntu to be exact) on a server tho and its actually a pretty good os



#10
mac, the user experience is unbeatable



#11
Windows but I'm thinking of switching to Mac for that ecosystem



#12
Windows 10 because i'm not knowledgable enough to VM of off linux.



#13
I use Windows 10 and OSX. Windows a lot lately because I'm at home in quarantine but I prefer OSX for anything work related like designing or coding.
