Your favourite OS?

I don't mind it. Admittedly, I had a few bugs with it on my end, but overall, its competent. It's just that Windows 7, at least for me, had less bugs.

It's much better than 8. I updated to the insider preview when I got me new pc with 8, and the insider preview was less buggy.

I hate everything about Windows 8. The aesthetics and everything. And yes, it was buggy as well (at the start).

It corrupted my pc 3 times.

It corrupted my pc 3 times.

That sucks.

That sucks.

Atleast alienware has that whole alien respawn thing, works well.

My personal favorite was Fedora 14, it was perfect! But all good things have an end. Then came Sabayon, which I ran for months until it became, meh. My other used to be Chakra OS, but KDE 5 pooped all over that distro for me.
Now it's a real toss up between Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Mageia, elementary, and Bodhi. I know a lot are based on Ubuntu, but I love Ubuntu-based distros, mostly because they take in such interesting directions.
My least favorites in case anyone was wondering would have to be Windows and Debian Stable. Windows because I just don't care for it and I don't like using it and Debian Stable because fuck that update cycle. Maybe for a server, Debian stable is nice, but for desktop, there's no excuse to hold onto old software for "stability."

I've been tempted by Mint before but use 10 because of the software situation. Is there a way to get Mint but still run programs like Bryce, Melody Assistant and Poser? I've heard of WINE but I was unsure of its compatibility.

I find WINE works with most programs or if I can't get it to work, there's always an open-source replacement.

I love Windows 7, however I own a mac because it lasts longer for college. I would much rather own a Windows computer.

 

[jurassicplayer]

...Bryce, Melody Assistant and Poser? I've heard of WINE but I was unsure of its compatibility.

Nobody has tested the compatibility of those programs recently apparently (or at least, nobody mentioned more recent tests on WineHQ). WINE changes relatively frequently so they may work perfectly fine...or they could garbage, unfortunately the only way to know would be to test it (you could try testing it in a live cd session).

Right now it's Windows 8.1. This will change when Windows 10 becomes a recommended update. I'll most probably go with Ubuntu or Linux Mint.

 

[jinzokami]

i love windows 7 and ubuntu.
retropie is quickly becoming my favorite raspberry pi centric OS.

More like forced.

Going purely mobile here:
Android ICS (before the SD write protection that pisses me off to no end on my unrootable SGN4) or KK on a rootable device — haven't been able to use anything more recent.

Windows CE/Pocket PC because I learned much of my CPP GUI programming under it.

I haven't heard the term Windows CE used in casual conversation in something like a decade.

 

[XENOVALKRYIA]

PC-BSD and kali linux....

 

[spotanjo3]

MAC OS X:

Maverick and El Captain

Windows:

Windows 7 and maybe Windows 10 (because of Direct X 12. )

Yeah most people dismissed it even back then, but it was a pretty remarkable OS with an amazing amount of the Win9x system calls crammed into such a small amount of storage. I literally could alter 2 lines of code and could compile many of the same programs between the two.

It was ahead of its time.
