What operating system do you use?
 

Just wondering what operating system everyone uses and who's now on Windows 11 or other operating systems?
And your reasons why.

Re: What operating system do you use?

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Windows 11 (added to poll)

Jaymoss, added your vote to "Windows 11" (and removed from ‘other’)

Also, iOS on my iPad and Android on my phone (OnePlus 7 Pro).

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

depends which device I'm using.

work laptop win 10
old own laptop linux mint
recent own laptop win 11 insider/linux mint
phone android

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

HP probook Laptop is W7 with classic shell
Samsung Galaxy A12 Phone is Android.
Bravia smart TV is Sony's version of Mint
The desk PC is XP SP3 for legacy reasons

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

I knew Sony had used versions of Linux over the years, but I didn't know they'd used a Mint "flavour", they don't normally give enough information to be that specific.

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

When I was trying to sort out a media serving problem I used the Universal Media Server as an experiment ( I currently use Serviio) and it reported the renderer's OS as Mint. They changed the next year to Android and my set must be a bit of a hybrid because I have had an occasional error message: The Android process has stopped.

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

At home I'm a Mac user so MacOS for me. I like how it just works and things are easy to find and do.
So we have a combination of iOs and MacOS devices.



At work we are mostly Windows 10 but I'm going to be trialing out Windows 11 in the near future and checking it gets on with all my Global Policies I have set on the Domain.


Found a member of staff still bringing in their old Windows 7 laptop the other day.

Quickly taken out of service and upgraded.

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Windows 10 but if Microsoft hadn't screwed me over with the Windows 11 requirements I would have moved to that.

Android on mobile devices.

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

This would have made more sense as a multi-choice poll as most people now use multiple devices and they aren’t all loaded with Microsoft.

I do about 90% of my work and all of my leisure on an iPad, about half of that with a keyboard attached, so I’ve selected iOS in the poll. However there are still some tasks in my working week that require a full desktop so I also use MacOS.

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Windows 11 PC
Windows 10 Laptop
Android Phone and 2 tablets
OpenATV and Wookiebuild on my Mut@ant HD2
Android TV Skinned by Amazon on my Firestick and Firecube
DD WRT on my linksys router running as secondary behind a VPN

Thought I would go mad on it seeing as a TV was mentioned hahaha

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Do you run the servers local? how big a hit has the new electricity charges have you had to take?

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Nope, they are all in data centres.

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Are you just into old operating systems or is there a reason you run out of date XP?

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

low ram I imagine

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Wait for Dude11 to reply with his Windows 98 SE. Lol

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Oh yes, I remember that thread.


I don't think I could ever go back to XP, nevermind 98!


Someone will probably chip in that they still have a Windows 3.11 machine somewhere.

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Need to have more than one choice , use Windows 10 , Android and color depending on which ever then l am running at the time

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Windows 11 but only because the games I play are not supported on Linux because the Dev's think that Linux will allow cheats to be created, they even think MSI Afterburner allows them to be created :LOL:

If they add Keyboard and Mouse support to them on Xbox though I will start playing them on there and then Linux get's installed on my PC.

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

It's an old system, because I don't believe it can be updated it's a Samsung NC-10

Im glad there is an OTHER option..

Im running Win98se (My favourite OS)

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

I use Windows 11 and dual boot with Pop OS

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Are you not worried about security with no more updates?

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

he thinks he is immune. Iirc he does not even run an AV

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Depends on what you are doing?


I not only have a Fingbox, but I don't download from sites I don't know.

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Indeed. The biggest threat to any computer is the user.

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

He browses Flash sites

I have stuff pretty much locked down, (Active X,etc)

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Your comments about computers always give me a laugh.

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Windows 11 only because Elite Dangerous does not play well with Linux.

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Should I accept the free upgrade to Windows 11 or stick with windows 10?

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Only you can make the choice. Is your machine able to first?

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

See if your hardware can handle it first and check to see if you have any software or devices that may not be Windows 11 compatible.

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

The machine is up to it, no software issues I can find reported on-line. Have they fixed the Ryzen (3700x) slow down issue?

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

They fixed the first one but apparently they found another not sure if that is fixed yet.

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Win 10 on PC
Win 11 on laptop, but I hate that I can't put the taskbar on the right hand side of the screen. Effin Windows 11.

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

Try Start 11 I think that may let you

Re: What operating system do you use?
 

You've not included Windows XP for 'Dude111' ;)

W10 for me. Apparently my PC isn't up to W11. I swear they just want you to buy new hardware....

Re: What operating system do you use?

Re: What operating system do you use?
