Gentoo.

Windows 7 Professional

Symbian S60 was fukken radical, bro.

Thinkpads are easy to hackintosh. Fuck win or loonix. Osx is even cooler on cheap thinkpad.

Why should I install any of those? I don't want to get memed

>>55951255
windows 7 (optional) dual boot with your favorite gnu/linux distro (necessary to feel thinkpad experience)
>>55951255
If you think windows 7 is a meme you must be really young. like really really really young, and I don't want to believe that.

This, i wish it was open sourced again so a PC version could be made.

Windows 10

>>55951189
Ubuntu with Cinnamon

Windows 7 Pro, eventually with Lubuntu or Xubuntu in a VM.

>>55951189
GNU

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as GNU, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. GNU is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU/Linux system made useful by the Linux kernel comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU/Linux system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU/Linux which is widely used today is often called “GNU”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Linux kernel, developed by Linus Torvalds. There really is a GNU, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
GNU are the userspace tools: the programs and utilities in the system that allows you to interact and manage your computer. The userspace is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system with a kernel. GNU is normally used in combination with the Linux kernel: the whole system is basically Linux with GNU added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “GNU” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>implying there's anything wrong with that
Hell, I still use Mac OS X Tiger regularly.

>>55954307
A 7 year old OS that has sane UI, supports all the modern software besides Metro crap, doesn't spy on you as hard as 10 and still gets security support.

It's only named Fedora because it is based on RedHat.
Fedora is easily one of the best and most polished distros available.

Than Windows 7? Windows 10 may not be that great looking but it's definitely better looking than 7.
