Your base OS for development or your favourite Workbench OS!

i recently had a good long argument on using Windows or Linux Os for development. I am a serious Windows 10 fanboy. So I just wanted to know how many use Linux, Windows 10 and MacOS.

I know these OS's are un-comparable but I just want to show my friends the voting down by real engineers of this community!

All those voting I would also love to hear why you love the OS and how it differs itself from others.

I continue to use my Windows 7 Pro OS. I was never a fan of the later versions of Windows and I use too many programs that I could not find availables for Linux.

If you're a professional then you should be capable and comfortable with both Windows and Linux. By all means have a preference for one or the other, but don't make the mistake of thinking anyone else…

others: windows and linux for boards that can run an OS. latest versions if I can. RTOSes for microcontrollers. FreeRTOS or TI-RTOS.

Nothing more satisfying than watching Foghorn Leghorn cartoons on a Linux box!

Ok is this better as Foghorn Leghorn used to say: I SAY, BOY! I SAY, BOY! GET A GRIP! Its a windows box in disguise. You can do your UI and workflow tools in LUNIX, and btw there FREE!!! ui: AKIRA on GITHUB and DIA (all the templates for Visio which I used to use work in DIA.) for your workflow and just if you want to go from DIA to UML it preps it then us maybe you could use Eclipse with the UML plugin. Just put another box and try it. you will like it. since 90% of the time you work in the browser or the tool. I could recommend Debian which I personly use but the get it going even with the Cinnamon desktop could be challenging so I recommend Mint with Cinnamon desktop. I have written three blog posts about Debian and NFS (Network File System) faster than CIFIS (Mico#oft abortion).

i faced some problems during the setup, cant remember the exact problems, but i spent sometime to setup.
Windows 10 and Ubuntu are on different HDDs. ever since, running without problem until now.

Am not saying that it doesn't work but the experience is bad!
It will run smooth but one or the other day switching between the OS will bring a BSOD crash!

As far I have experience with Windows 10 dual booting it was bad!
Windows just simple hates Dual Booting!
