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.

    One of the things I like about E14 is that this question hasn't descended into "your choice of OS sucks" as it usually does. Let's hope we can keep it that way.

    Yeah! I do love Linux for some facts!

    Its lightweight, Fast (sometimes), Amount of Flavors available and the list is long!

     

    E14 have got something like real engineers respecting each other's choice and work!

    I know everyone here have used all three OS's at least once!
