My PC is set up as a dual-boot with Ubuntu and Windows 10. I have a few specialist music/audio add-ons without Linux device drivers, so I use Windows 10 under duress for most of my music making and when coding for the Windows API; otherwise, I use Ubuntu for everything else.

I've voted for Windows 8.1, as it's the system I use 90% of the time, and I think it's very underrated.

I use LXLE Linux as my main other system. I think that's underrated as well.

I'm actually still using XP.

I liked 7 a lot for a little while, but eventually I realized that everything about it was designed to slow down my productivity, and I dropped it to the curb. Ugly "ribbons" everywhere, and "library" folders as the default for everything? No thank you.

I also hated that you have to disable parts of it to get audio recording to work properly. On XP, things like ASIO just work.

My primary systems are all OpenBSD. I usually use OpenSuSE as a workstation, but currently I'm using OpenBSD for that as well.

Technically, Android already is Linux ;)

It's just been Google-fied to enhance the assimilation process.

I use Gentoo Linux with KDE Plasma 99.99% of the time, how ever I have Win 10 on another drive.

I'm sure Ubuntu had two votes when I looked at this two or three days ago. Is it possible for people to cancel or change their vote?

That would be me.

I had a PC with UNIX on it in about 1990, but I don't remember which one. I think there were two UNIXs for PCs back then.

I started using FreeBSD in about 1997 but quickly went to OpenBSD instead and have used it ever since.

In my office, I have five OpenBSD machines and in the comptuer room, I have three more.

I also have an Apple OSX machine, but haven't started it up in three or four years.

One operating system I've often meant to try but haven't is Plan 9 from Bell Labs. I think it is still available but I wonder what hardware it will run on these days.

Open and freeBSD look appealing, but the even worse software support really makes it unfit for daily use for me.
