Are you one of those 'master race' guys? :^)

>>8496805
Honestly, what is the benefit of using an operating system that is specific to your application?

And I mean it, it is a genuine question. Windows can run all the scientific software too so what specific benefits do you get from getting "scientist" operating systems?

>>8496805
Ubuntu or debian. Distros are memes just pick something stable and apt-get everything else

>>8496877
Because it is open source, objectively more secure than Windows or any Apple operating system.

>Windows can run all the scientific software too
You fucking wish

>>8496910
This. Most important is good support, so I would avoid exotic distros.

>>8496805
BSD because fuck communism.

>>8496930
That's quite true, with some of the rarer distributions I've had trouble finding technical support or even information for a majority of issues. Though, it has improved me as a user, because I had to debug them myself. Every cloud, anon, every cloud.

Just use arch.
Less hassle.

My work computer runs windows.
Everyone in the office runs windows or both windows and MacOS.
The only things with linux are I think some of the servers.

And get-apt everything I need?
