What's your primary desktop computer/OS?


And are you thinking of switching? If yes, why?

Very late to the party, but I dualboot Windows+OpenBSD. Windows I need for Office, Visual Studio and .NET Framework, on OpenBSD I program in C, python mostly.

OS X for both home and office. My problem is not with h/w but Windows OS. To me Win OS of current hasn't changed much from Win 98. Changing themes and introducing transparent borders are not really 'innovations'.

I wont say OS X is best, it can be better(I feel that Snow Leopard and Lion were much more stable than current ones - the ones before apple went on mission of getting thinner).

Windows 10 LTSB. I think I'm on the 1604 build, so I may be due for a refresh to a newer build with some added features, but... it just works, and doesn't have any crapware to turn off or uninstall.

I really don't know how people use other Windows editions.

Macbook pro running 10.14.6. I'm not much of a gamer and while I prefer the general control I can exert over PCs for certain aspects of my job, the Mac OS always felt more convenient when it comes to me just having fun et.

Windows. Thinking of switching to Mac at work, but need Windows for games at home.
