Which operating system(s) do you use?

I use DBAN on every new computer, just to wipe it clean, and also on old drives, before I re-purpose them. I just use the quick wipe, no need for anything more than 1 pass.

Ubuntu is a waste of one's finite life. Buggy, broken support for many devices, exploitable, half-made, unpleasant to use, terrible community.

That said, I use and love one of it's derivatives: Mint.

i agree with that, i tried it once and never again for sure

XP is good when it is fresh, but in couple of months it gets many bugs and it is slow. Win 8 is the bes OS, requires less resources than any other windows OS

I believe Microsoft will be discontinuing support for XP next April.

I'm using Windows 7 as my main entertainment system because it just works.

But when security becomes a major concern, only Linux based systems are used.

That said, it will continue to be a damn fine OS to use under a virtual machine.

Did you try WIN 8?

Windows kernel works on every machine, even older ones.

Linux distros hiccup on less known/old hardware.

In the recent year I had two cases where Linux falls flat on unknown hardware.
But it's free of course, for some it's hard to beat.

That's because the vast majority of manufacturers only support Windows...

I think windows is the best OS but his popularity decreases over time. Cuz many ppl now have tablets. I know tablet cant do many things as computer but there are so much interenet users only on tablet

Try Windows 8 how? Under a virtual machine? Yes, it didn't install

I mainly use Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu, but I occasionally dip into OSX and CentOS. But it all depends on what needs to be accomplished.
