It depends on my usability at the time.

Predominantly, I'm on the Windows platform, namely Windows 10. I also have 6 VMs running- with a combination of Windows & Linux.

Now that I have my workshop setup properly again, I was going to try whonix running through a VPN and using TOR to see just how wound up and fucked about I can get my IP to come from.
I'm also planning on attempting to throw an ethernet switch into the mix so I can even throw in a proxy server route before the connection ever hits a computer.
It's gonna be an interesting night.

I mainly use Linux. Though my laptop is down right now. Need a charger for it and can't spare the little money it cost for one Sad

only $30 at Walmart hah. But have another laptop with no battery I'm using with Windows. Planned on putting Linux on it today actually. But I try and keep a desktop around with Windows eo I can game. Always gotta have a decent gaming rig. If I could afford a Mac book pro I would use it seeing how it's close to Linux and they work well. But I will forever be a Linux fan first

Well of course sure started using it when I was pretty young and just never left it. In fact I get deeper and deeper into it all the time. Started with just using Ubuntu then customizing small things on it. To basically just redoing the whole os then moving to Arch and what not

I assume you're referring to Windows 10 as your primary OS?

If so, when you get a moment (no rush), I'd like to read your thoughts.

OpenVMS with a dualboot to Tru64 UNIX for optimal Alpha-ing

Half of this is because my entire work career has been in these operating systems, but the other half is that they do exactly what I need an OS to do -I just need to do some programming, be able to browse some boards, mess around with a game or two but nothing too complex, and then print a few papers now and then.

Call it dated but I mean Windows eats resources like crazy, I really don't care for Mac OS in any way past System 7, and every flavor of Linux I've tried has been a pain and then proceeded to die so I figure I may as well stick with what I know I like and what works.

I have a Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 dual boot set up. I mostly use Windows 10, but I sometimes switch over to Linux.
I also have a couple of VM's, just in case. Linux, of course.

I honestly prefer Windows 10 as my everyday OS because its GUI is user-friendlier than Ubuntu's, in my opinion.
There are also many more video games available =) though I play much less nowadays than I used to about a year ago or so.

But otherwise, really no difference for me.
