What OS Do You Use?

Post » Fri Jul 03, 2015 5:53 pm

Yep, it's this again. What can I say, I'm bored and curious.

--

For myself,
Windows 10 Preview in a VM (for gaming without booting my regular Windows)
Windows 8.1 on my laptop
Arch Linux on my laptop (my primary OS)
Linux Mint on my laptop (I keep it around mainly for Steam, which I have not succeeded in running on Arch)
ReactOS in a VM (it's an open-source Windows clone)
Chrome OS on my Chromebook

(Oh, dammit, the poll option isn't working on Chrome and editing it seems to have removed the poll... I'll put it back in when I next have access to something that's not a Chromebook. Speaking of which, anyone know what's going on there? [Avatars not loading; the create-a-poll option not showing up; the unhide spoiler button not doing anything]. Or am I the only one? [Chrome on Chrome OS, Firefox and Chromium on Arch Linux; works fine with Project Spartan on Win10 preview])

Windows 7 for my desktop, pretty much entirely for the benefit of gaming; otherwise it'd probably be a Linux of some sort, I prefer the choice X-Windows interfaces.

FreeBSD for my server. Can't remember why that originally got the job instead of Linux, probably some specific functionality I wanted at the time and I was also likely influenced ideologically by http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/. I've often got myself unstuck by staying more-or-less with -CURRENT but I figure after 15 years of pitfalls I'm not going to learn.
