@CrustyDDingus I like linux with lxde. Despite they are ugly compared to gnome. In term of light weight usage they are superior.

I've only used Windows and Apple IOS but prefer Windows due to the third party software that i can run. Windows 10 is driving me crazy at the moment though with it's forced updates and false-positives in it's virus detection.

@SW-User windows restore simply just fails me

I like mac for that reason, i simply throw a empty ssd in. I can load macintosh os from scratch via network without me creating a disc for it.

@MatthewTheHamster If i had the money i'd have a Mac, so much easier to use for general day to day things.

@SW-User I'm using the 2014 mac mini. It's still costly but compared to 2018 mac mini which i find it's crazy. I not sure if i will continue to get the latest mac when eventually my pc died.

@CoffinFeeder Didn't microsoft force it's user to upgrade to windows 10? Pardon me i assume microsoft will force it's user to upgrade their operating systems.

Impressive you have enough, pc resource to run ubuntu inside your vista operating system.

@CoffinFeeder why would you do it that way instead of doing a dual boot?

I like Windows because of games. I like Mac because of ease with design apps. I like Linux for server distros.

It used to be Windows until Microsoft ruined it with Windows 8 and 10. I tried and hated Mac. Linux is not an good alternative because the software is lacking.

So currently my favourite is still Windows 7 and likely for some time to come.
