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.

Something I noticed there are some votes for MacOS but no one seems to speak in favor of MacOS!
Are MacOS users so less in E14!

actually there is one vote for macOS up till now, it's mine.
To be honest I'm quite happy with it, also due to the fact that it is based on Unix (I'm a Linux user as well).
All major software packages, runs on macOS (Matlab, Simulink, Eagle, Arduino, Eclipse, ..........).
Also lot's of hardware is supported, e.g. the PicoScope USB scopes.

So just curious are there more macOS users around here?

Yeah! And an Official Microsoft Office 2019 for MacOS right!
I do love MacOS but it runs perfectly on a MacBook!
And MacBooks usually are too costly!

The MAC O/S does some really nice stuff but at a price point I don't find acceptable.

The decision made by the corporation, once again, create user defined paths, that to me, are used to shore obscene profits.
