I can tell you right now it's Windows 7.
Even with Microsoft pushing Windows 8, and now FORCING Windows 10....

I prefer Mac because of its unix core, great for development. No plans to upgrade from Windows 7, I only use it for gaming anyway.

I must say that Windows Vista was the worst Windows i have ever used. The Windows XP was far better that the Vista, so i got back to the XP after the awful experience with the Vista. I think that Vista was a very bad product by Microsoft.
Now I am using windows 7. It is the best for me now.

I think of non-Linux options as a joke. I would not even consider using BTC on a winxx or mac.

Well that's a bit over the line. I would not call it a joke. I do not see a problem with using BTC (spending wallet) on Windows as long as proper security measures are set and the user has experience/knowledge. As Vod said, currently most people are using Windows 7 but a surprisingly high amount is still using XP. Windows 8/8.1 is okay, but Windows 10 is horrible for BTC. Ubuntu works perfectly for me. What is this? Ubuntu is a Debian-based variant of Linux with unity as it's desktop environment. Aside from computers they're trying to migrate the OS to smartphones as well. Ubuntu is free as well. |

I know that is provocative, but windows is not open source and so I have no idea what it is doing or who has the backdoor keys. I would assume China has access to all win computers as well as all spy agencies. I try to ONLY run open source software that I compile myself. Otherwise I would be operating on hope, trust and hearsay. That is not the bitcoin way. I like to operate on math. |

*BSD? FreeBSD (and probably OpenBSD) are great server distributions. You could run a Bitcoin node on one. |

Windows is a really good choice so I guess the vote goes for it.

While this is definitely way too much for the average man, or even the average tech savvy person, I understand your point of view. Without the source code you can not tell what could be inside of a OS/software. It is very hard to determine if something is fishy with it as well. Most people will find you too paranoid though. I know that there are a lot of weird things with windows (e.g .NSAKEY). Windows is a really good choice so I guess the vote goes for it.
Good at best if compares to Linux. |

Obviously windows is the most popular but there are several threads about what operating systems people use already. Ubuntu works perfectly for me. What is this? L2G. |

Arch Linux on my desktop and laptop. CentOS as the host on my server with virtualization, and various linux operating systems as the guest virtual machines.

Mac and Ubuntu are great for their lack of viruses. Too easy to get them on windows machines even with ant-virus so that's why I don't like them.
