What OS do you use?
« on: November 27, 2010, 11:33:21 pm »

This is a poll to establish the favored OS of Bay12ers. If you feel that I left out something that should be in there, please let me know. If you choose Linux/other, please post and specify the exact distro/OS.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Ubuntu. But I'm thinking of switching to Debian or Arch.

Mostly because everything works.

No using. That's not what freedom is for.

Vista. I had a free Windows 7 CD Key, but I let it expire once I heard the Windows 7 horror-stories.

Horror stories?
Do elaborate.
I've heard nothing but praise for 7, especially compared to Vista.

Such as 7 deciding on a random whim to wipe your hard drive and destroy itself.

Never heard that before.

Where'd you heard these from? You've been talking to Stallman haven't you?

I use Windows 7. I don't really care, as long as it works.

Ubuntu. Mostly because I haven't really bothered to get anything else. And I like the free storage space and stuff :D

I'm still stuck with Vista for gaming though :(

I use Windows 7, and the free self destruct system that apparently comes with it hasn't activated.

A terrible fate indeed.

I have an old-ass computer that still has Windows XP. And Ubuntu on my netbook.

XP, although been considering dual-booting Ubuntu for ages. Never got around to it.
