Which OS do you use?

My personal feeling/opinion (that you of course are free to disagree with) is that windows is next to no good except in specific use cases.
If you want to do anything secure you’re better off on anything but windows.
If you want privacy you’re better of on anything other then windows.
If you care about the performance of your computer (from a CPU point of view) then windows isn’t all that good either.
What it’s good at is GPU performance and some accessories like the programmable buttons on gaming mice for instance.
And in general both Mac and Windows tends to have better support for things like printers.
And there’s software you won’t find on Linux (there’s some CAD software but most of it is Windows stuff for instance)

Now if you want to play new games that use DX10, 11 or 12 only then you’re better of on windows then on Linux, no doubt.
Linux can’t even run those.
And there’s quite a bit of applications coded to run on Mac or Windows that just won’t run on Linux (like many .NET applications in the case of Windows).

And there’s also the issue of personal preferences.
Some people just love Windows.

How do you use your computer?
What is it that you’d like your OS to actually do?
That plays a big role in what OS is best for you.

As for my long messages…
Sorry, a bad habit I guess…
I’m trying to keep them relatively short…
