What would be the best OS for graphic design?
What system features should it have?

Install gentoo
Windows 10 obviously. Mac is overpriced and unneeded, if you need good hardware build a better PC, still cheaper. Linux has nothing.

don't be an autist and disable the spy services.

How's default font management on Windows 10? Is color profile management still as shielded and obscured as on Windows 7?
It doesn't seem the system is fundamentally good for design. It can be used but certainly not he best possible thing one can come up with.

It looks great to me. I revisited linux last week for a test drive and the fonts nearly gave me cancer.
Does it matter to professional design though? Those are self-contained creation suites.

By font management I mean how they are installed, managed and accessed by other programs.
On Windows it's a thrashpile. No order without a dedicated font manager, accessing throws up everything, no proper separation between separate projects for application to access.
I imagine an option to keep system fonts to a bare minimum of one bitmap font and one bezier font would help with getting rid of the bloat too.
macos
build a hackingtosh if you want to reduce cost
Gentoo

How's color profile management there?
MacOS if you already know the tools (like Adobe, Sketch, etc).
Linux if you still need to learn tools anyway. Programs like Krita are so much better than people expect.

Anything but linux.
The driver and hardware support is trash.
>>58549275
What I'm asking isn't an OS with best software support but rather best fundamental feature set for graphic design. Something to expect OS to do rather than delegate to an application.

>MacOS: only supports Apple hardware
>Linux: install and it works without drivers
Remind me again?

A good OS stays out of your way unless you need it. If a user notices what OS it has it failed.

>What would be the best OS for graphic design
Depends on what you do and what programs you use.
MacOS has a lot more designery program than Windows does, that's for sure.

There's this simple menu for changing profiles, there are also a colorsync utility with more advanced options.
I don't mess around with color profiles much.
