What OS do you use?

[xalphax]

Windows 10 for work and everyday use.

Linux for special operations. Like data recovery, ripping and reverse engineering etc.

January 2020 actually.

Oh. Well, not going to change my OS anytime soon then.

Windows 10 for the gaming. The moment I could use Skyrim with Mod Organizer, SKSE and ENBseries with comparable performance on linux, i'd switch.

Windows 10. I waited a bit before installing it, and tried it out on my Surface Pro 3 first (since it adds some new features that greatly benefit hybrid devices like that one), to make sure everything was working fine and to get used to the new OS and make sure I didn't hate it before I took the plunge on my other PCs.

If it worked for you, it doesn't mean it will work for everyone.
That's why i have RAM sticks laying out. Research before you call shit.

i've done so... it's not the ram that fails, it's mostly the timing, i mean like processor speed... windows 98 se last update works up to 2gb ddr2, windows 95 however fails quite early about 512 mb it should kill the system.
windows 3.11 kills above 16 mb ram most tests (as would most dos versions, it gets wrong readings with higher ram).
since windows 98 and SE are identical on ram and processor, this should work the same... i never seen someone using standard 98 around here... but it's been quite usual to get it on higher hardware you describe as max.
can't say if it would work in sandbox though, emulated systems could crash it very easy i think...

one notebook running win 7, another running win 7 and ubuntu 16 lts in dual boot
gaming rig running win 10 for now.... if ms breaks something then I am going back to win 7 or install ubuntu

I use Arch Linux, although I dual-boot with FreeBSD, multiple options should be enabled...

Windows 10 as primary and Linux Mint as secondary. I'd use Mint as my primary OS if i could actually game on it, but you know how that goes.
I've also got a Surface 3 with Windows 10. I've thought about trying out a different OS on it, but I imagine that it would be a huge pain to set up and might possibly not work at all, so I've mostly given up on the idea.

 

[HamBone41801]

Win 10 on my pc. (since launch) Never had any issues and it booted faster than 7 or 8.
Arch on my laptop.

Surface 3 is optimized only for Windows and it has slightly modified Win10.

I figured as much. I mean, it IS a device produced by Microsoft themselves. I wanted to try it out mostly out of curiosity, since I figured having a tablet running Linux would be rather novel, but that's probably not worth the hassle involved.

 

[retrofan_k]

Win 7 64bit for main PC and Win 98/XP for my retro Laptop/PC.

 

[MionissNio]

Android on mobile phones, except for gaming.

Android is a little buggy, but it is best alternative to winblows.

 

[StackMasher]

linux for everything

Take a look at this if you ever decide to try it out. It's in a good shape for the Surface 3 actually, you'll need some scripts to use auto-rotation/brightness and suspend to RAM is the only thing that doesn't work.

Windoughs 7 Masterrace.

 

[Vipera]

Windows 10. I pretty much /need/ to have these apps and with their full potential.

Before you ask no, Keynote and GWave don't work on Wine properly.

 

[Magnus87]
