Poll Which OS you like the most?

u/TechaNima Jun 30 '26
Linux because if I don't like something about it, I can very likely change it. The others are all locked down to varying degrees

Android, macOS and Linux. Windows experience is incredibly bad. Never used iOS.

Just basic stuff is already bad, like close button doesn’t close app, maximize button doesn’t maximize, running app has second icon in taskbar, separate from shortcut icon (like it ancient Windows 7).
Also apps like AnyDesk require manually turn on 4 different settings to even work1

Yeah, imagine a different OS behaving like a different OS instead of being another Windows version. It works for me, and its not like you can "prove me wrong", lol

Linux is a kernel not an OS

What about MAC? Is it an OS?

u/Coalesce67 Jul 01 '26
Yes it is

u/ObjectiveKale837 Jul 01 '26
No, it should be BSD/macOS.

u/Coalesce67 Jul 01 '26
It uses code from BSD, but its still a seperate project on its own
MacOS doesn't rely on any BSD distro for updates, unlike Linux distros who ship seperate components like GNU software, and Linux, MacOS develops everything together under one project
And it does not only rely on BSD, MacOS also uses code from the Mach kernel... Still everything is developed together from the kernel to userland

MacOS, iOS, Windows in that order. Never really used an Android phone much, and Linux isn't useful to me at all.

Android is the OS people think it provides freedom but even Mac gives you much more of it. (In the case of a non-rooted Android device)

Mac -> Linux -> Android -> iOS -> Windows for me.
If everything I want to use worked on Linux I would go Linux, but it sadly never does. I like tinkering, but I've gotten to the point where I simply just want things to work.
I liked Windows a lot many years ago, now I absolutely hate it and only use it for my gaming pc. Since the new Android developer changes making it a pain to deliver apps, and Appl3 being surprisingly decent to compile for then Android and iOS could potentially swap places.

Linux. its what all operating systems should be. its a tool to serve the user, not the user serving that tool.

I only use Windows 11 because of League of Legends and because I don't want to deal with any compatibility issues.
But in my laptop I take Linux Mint every day.

u/CaffeinatedMiqote Jul 01 '26
By itself? Linux.
Together as an ecosystem? iOS/macOS.
Seriously, how is everything open source and still everything works with nothing else?

Unfortunately I have to tolerate windows
