What do you use - Windows, Linux or Mac? [POLL]

[CoinGeneral]

Mac is such a superior machine for devs and customers. So many tools that are so intuitive and powerful to use. Lets not forget about its security 🎃

your trolling right ?

No, I love macs. BTW Don't reply to ME like I am that OTHER GUY, I'm someone completely different. Now that that is out of the way.

Macs are pretty cool. No their hardware isn't that great, but their operating system is A+++ in my opinion. 100x better than Linux of course. Not better than Windows, no. But easier than Windows, most of the time yes. I say Windows has 1 million times more customization than Mac, but in ease of use, Mac is the way to go.

But my favorite is still Windows. I know I may offend some people when I say Linux sucks, but, it has frustrated me and yes when Vista came out I switched to Linux, I even learned how to do a lot of cool tricks on it, I knew the terminal commands and whatnot, but then Windows 7 came out, I got that, and when I went back into Linux one day, omg frustration out of every fiber of my being. Never again.

Nah, windows sucks imo!
I like macs since OSX is a LOT more stable than any windows or linux (desktop) version. Macs are also great because they are based on UNIX and therefore runs UNIX commands and programs. The mac is on the other hand not very customizable. Linux comes second because it's open source, UNIX commands works, it is 100% customizable and extremely powerful. I don't like windows at all since it is buggy, laggy, closed source, microsoft and there is a lot of malware to that platform.

No if there weren't Windows around, Linux and Mac would not have been created.

You're joking, right?
The Mac was developed before Windows. Apple was first with the GUI-system and computer mouse. Bill Gates stole Apples ideas by misusing Steve Jobs trust. So, Microsoft is the bad guys. However, it was the competition between Apple and Microsoft that led to new innovations (for example Microsoft were first with multitasking).

I said earlier that 'I love macs'

That was actually before my Macbook Pro arrived and I saw a lot of their keynotes on how revolutionary their products were which made me order one.

In the end, no I don't love macs, I still like it more than Linux though. However, Windows is still the best operating system in the world for me.

Hey, guys! Now Linux seems to be on par with Windows according to this vote (indeed it is by far superior strictly on technical terms only, see top500.org for a proof). Are bitcoiners pro-linux really?

I think most long time Bitcoiners are more pro-Linux than the average. There's a good reason for this phenomena. Most of us were CPU or GPU miners that had multiple computers going at once (I had 12-14 going at any given time). There is no reason to buy a license for Windows for every miner when Linux is free. Also, many Bitcoiners program in a high-level language like Python because it's easier and requires fewer lines of code to make something cool happen. These people make all the various additional software that Bitcoin relies on to make it user friendly. Bitcoin developers are the backbone of Bitcoin and release everything under a "free to use and develop" GNU GPL type license. It makes more sense to work on a platform where everything is free, even the OS (things are still released in a Windows version though because many people use it). These two things make the Bitcoin community more pro-Linux than most.

People who are pro-bitcoin for ideological reasons are more likely to pro free software. Free as in freedom, not free beer. Linux is free software. You can get the source code, and you can change it to how you like it if you wish.

You control your finance, your finance(Banks) do not control you. You control your software, your software(Digital handcuffs) don't control you.

Windows as desktop, mac as laptop!
So far I've never had a windows laptop I've been satisfied with, overheating, fans dying, performance going to hell, shitty batteries are just a few of the problems.

So, what do you use? Windows? Linux? Mac?
It'll be interesting to know how many people on this forum use each

[deisik]

Well, Linux is just two voices behind Windows now (24 vs 26). Who will make up for the odds?

hi five

Is there a windows like that? I was using Win95 and then Win98. I never heard of Win97 though.
I am using Windows 7 now, and waiting for Windows 9 or 10 to come out.
I feel that Win8 is beta testing of some sort.
