Which operating systems do you use, or like? #1
Which operating systems do you use on all of your computers? Do you use Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Arch Linux, Debian Linux, Linux Mint, Tails OS, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, etc.?

On my physical (Host) systems, all are running Windows 10.

In terms of VMs, Liberte Linux, Parrot, Kali Linux, Tails OS, Privatix and Whonix and one Installation of Windows 10.

You have numerous virtual machines on your system. That's a ton! Do you ever plan on adding more operating systems?

Some say It's an overkill and to an extent, I agree however they're not all actively running.

I'm always testing OSes, so I'll certainly hit more. In terms of Linux distros, aside from what I've mentioned, what's worthy of Installing?

Arch Linux i3 is the thing for me due to the customization features it provides.
Here is a preview but, it's gentoo but, all the same WM: https://i.imgur.com/RC9T6BT.png

Debian is definitely worthy in my opinion, although it is just a general-purpose operating system. Tiny Core Linux is a very interesting one, as it is a roughly fifteen or twenty megabyte-size operating system. There are three editions of it. I have never installed it myself, but it seems very fascinating.

While not a Linux distribution, I highly recommend trying FreeBSD and OpenBSD. They are (obviously in my humble opinion) much more stable than most Linux distributions, and very well maintained. The only downside is the fact that there is not much hardware support for the BSD family, especially software support (albeit there exists ports).

Excellent advice and feedback. I've definitely taken everything under advisement, thank you.

I'm amazed at Tiny Core's size of only 16MB. I'm also downloading CorePlus, by description, It seems well worthy of Installing.

That's great! You are very welcome. Please let me know what you think about CorePlus whenever you install it, as it'd be great to know how well it functions. Also, off-topic, but thank you for the +7. Smile
