Windows 7

Not that happy with it but it's the lesser evil of all the choices. I'd use Linux 100% of the time if it could give me full performance out of my hardware.

Tangential note: I think if Windows 7, 8, and 10 had allowed much more ricing Linux would not be nearly as popular on /g/ as it is.

I have Windows 10 on my desktop, but I want to switch that up - it fucking sucks

Desktop - Windows 7 for Gayming and other tasks
Compatibility and ease of use.
Yes.
No

Laptop - Arch Linux for whatever else.
Tor, pentesting, other.
Yes.
Meh. Maybe try out other distributions.

my OS (TLT) plays up to three pre-recorded, user-selectable phrases and has a functional, intuitive interface with a three-stage volume control function. i use it because i was impressed with the manufacturer's suggested 'eight to eighty' age range; although advanced users may find the lack of customization options frustrating. in summary, i don't think i'm ready to switch just yet - i'd suggest improving the phrase capacity/variety in future revisions, while maintaining the damage-proof hardware design.

>>57854688
Ubuntu for my PC, Windows 7 for my console.
>why
Linux as a personal desktop because I'm not an American and I don't want to enable their government's global espionage. Other than that I get access to some better tools here and everything I do is smoother.
Windows 7 because AERO looks beautiful and I don't want telemetry and permanent bloatware to rape my hardware and network as it did on 10. Obviously, it's entirely dedicated to gaming, though I do play some games on Linux if they're available.
>are you happy with it
I'm happy with both. They both have minor problems but I can deal with them.
>do you want to switch
I don't "want" to, but I would switch if I found better alternatives. I'm not actively distro hopping so it's unlikely I'll switch from Ubuntu soon. As for Windows, I'll probably never switch to 10 but if I ever need to abandon 7 I'll just use 8.1 as the final Windows version I'll ever install.

Yes
Maybe to gentoo when I have more time, but at the moment no.

>>57855670
You can say what you want about the hardware and design of their products, but MacOS slam dunks Windows 10 in Terms of user-friendliness, design, speed. Gaming is the only drawback.

Ubuntu "just works" as of 16.04.

Work in progress. Supposedly Crossover has support for DX11 if you're willing to buy it. The purchase gets you professional support too.

>not to mention stupid ass file permission issues with plex media server
How? I've been running plex for a few years and never had an issue.

>Not to mention how stupid grub bootloader is.
What's wrong with it? It boots as it should, you shouldn't be messing with it otherwise unless you know what you're doing.

>>57854688
>Which OS does anon use?
Windows 10
>Why
Came with computer, too lazy to install linux
>Are you happy with it
No, it keeps using up all my system resources for "Telemetry data" and "anti-virus". It also installs a ton of store apps I don't want and has ads in the start menu.
>Do you want to switch?
Yes

Linux Mint
Because it's lightweight.
I'm okay with it at the moment
I may switch soon, if I don't end up liking it

>>57855718
>I do play some games on Linux if they're available.
Protip: you can install the SteamOS components on any debian-based distro. I did this on my desktop since the default compositor in Ubuntu sucks ass for playing games. They didn't add a proper logout function to switch between desktops so you have to CTRL+ALT+F1(F2, F3, whichever) and kill the steamos components to get back to the login screen.
Easiest way to kill is "kill -9 `ps aux | grep steam | awk '{print $2}'` "

>>57856357
>I'm thinking to try a Linux distro like Arch or something that's not bloated like Ubunto or Mint.
>Any recommendation anons?

Arch is a terrible choice for a new user. Ubuntu isn't nearly as bloated as /g/ makes it out to be. If you install the server version and Gnome3 you should be able to run it on an old P3 or P4.

>>57856448
Just install it already, you'll be happy you did.

x220
windows 7

highly indifferent.

>>57854688
>Which OS does anon use?
Windows 7

>Why
Because it has the best usability out of all the currently supported Windows OS's. 8 finds a way to break anything for no reason all the time and I hate everything about 10 from inner working to fundamentals it was built on.

Mac is too damn expensive and apparently apple is going full retard. Linux is too much work to get how I want and even then it can't do properly even half the stuff I can do with windows. Yes, that means games. ENTERTAINMENT. Reasons why I'm not into narcotics, etc.

>Are you happy with it
As happy as can be. Admittedly it's tech-wear is showing a little when compared to 8 and 10 but I'll manage.

>Do you want to switch?
Sure. I'd love to get away from this but as other options are as they are, I'm not yet ready for that kind of commitment.

Mac OS X aka UNIX done right

>Which OS does anon use?

>Do you want to switch?

>>57856524
True, but some games are still not available. I personally didn't want to mess with wine/PlayOnLinux much.

>>57854688
Arch
Because I am to lazy to setup distcc for gentoo, and am not that disgusted my it's low standards.

>>57856899
Not that guy, but the one of the things I miss about osx was the mail client, it worked good with pgp and you could set cusom rules.

>>57854688
>Which OS does anon use?

Having the more up to date KDE software really improves my experience since the current version of plasma in Kubuntu is buggy as hell (Gnome and Unity a shit). Also because I'm pretty casual when it comes to Linux and mostly just wanted to get away from Microsoft, hence the Ubuntu laziness.

I use MacOS because I love it, and Linux because I'm learning sysadmin, programming, etc.

No, I'm pretty happy with what I have. I'd like to build a home lab with a PFsense firewall, a couple Raspberry Pis, and a type-1 hypervisor, along with a few VMs running on my desktop, but just for messing around.
