It depends, for daily use I choose Ubuntu hands down since it is as easy as windows but without any viruses and backdoors, in the past I used to have windows just to run some apps and games but now I use wine and I run Ubuntu exclusively.
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

The aim of this poll is the have an idea about the users of this section OS preferences, as i am also a developer i would like to know if other devs have the same preferences as i.
Please provide the reasons for your choice.

I voted for Ubuntu and Mac.

Ubuntu because it easy to use, frequently updated, stable, customisable, reliable OS, i can say that for me, it is the best OS i ever used wether in CLI or GUI.
Mac because behinde every Mac, a Linux heart is beating, nothing more.

I don't vote for windows because it is buggy, trustless, ugly, virus/hacking compliant, you don't have any controle over it unless you are read
y to spend hours fetching for controles, and, if they are not bugged.

Thanks for participating.
The best choice for me is windows, why?
Windows gained most of the popularity. It is open source, hence it is flexible and you can do what ever can be done in computer with windows. Aside from it is easier to use, the is the most reliable operating system because you can use it easily and have it easily.

The day you will start compiling, programing, coding, and doing IT stuff you will understand why linux is the best (at least for me).
The most important points about linux are the system stability, no obviously random bugs, the open source ecosystem, you would be amazed by all what linux can offer, and the simplicity, it may look hard to use at first, but wasn't windows hard for you in the start too ?


Windows 7 Pro. Too used to it as have been using it for some time.

You can easily convert from windows to linux, the GUI is the same, except for some details, mainly because hard things on windows are easy to do in ubuntu.

It depends, for daily use I choose Ubuntu hands down since it is as easy as windows but without any viruses and backdoors, in the past I used to have windows just to run some apps and games but now I use wine and I run Ubuntu exclusively.

People like you are my best friends.

Windows, because I've never tried other operating systems. I'm joking.  To be honest, I was got used to Windows since my childhood, when my father bought the a new computer. That was Pentium 100 on Windows 95. Since then, I prefer Windows. I was using Windows 95, 98, Millennium, XP, 8 and now I have Windows 10. I've tried Linux once, but it got me confused a bit, and that experience last only for a week. Personally, I really like Windows 10. On my old laptop, it works really fast.

I'll choose Windows and MAC, I've used them for a long time and found it quite suits me.
The first is about Windows, this is the first operating system that I use. The first thing I like about it is interactive and easy to use. The user friendly features allow customers to easily use the computer with simple instructions. It is known to be very stable and is protected with a high level of safety. The multimedia features like video and audio are available in various Windows operating systems.
The second is about the Mac, I choose it because it's less intrusive and damage from malicious software such as malware and spyware. This helps me avoid data loss due to malicious viruses. Besides, Mac also very consistency and highly secure. When using this operating system my computer never had the unwanted software.
Here are 2 operating system that I like to use. In the future I'll probably use a few new OS to feel Cheesy

Windows 7 - because its reliable, everything still works on it and I don't like windows 8 or 10 tiles and tablet integration. I also know this OS inside and out and have been supporting it for years.

I did watch some reviews about it on youtube and its like designed for deepweb, might wanna try it later.

tails is ok for newbies that wanna start learning about deepweb.
it does not come with any miner installed and would not work with many different miners that do not support the tor network.
