Weekend Open Forum: What operating system do you run?

Windows 10 Pro here also on my desktop and on my laptop. My family has Win10 home version on their laptops. Whole house is now Windows 10.
 
Windows 10 on all PC's, except one ancient laptop running XP 32bit, but it is not connected to the Internet. The wife is using it for ancient windows games that do not run well on modern hardware and OSes. Intel Celeron M370 (1,5 Ghz 1C,1T, 400 MHz FSB. 1Gb RAM, SIS graphics 40Gb HDD).
 
Windows 10 even though I'm not a huge fan of it. Would use Windows 7 but Microsoft is really good at forcing people to use stuff they don't want.
 
My main desktop is running Antergos with XFCE (Arch Linux based).
My work laptop is on Windows 10 Enterprise (x64) because I need Visual Studio.
 
I'm still using Windows 7 on nine PCs with two of them dual booting with Windows XP. The next PC I build will use Windows 10. Although I have no timetable for this next build, I already bought Windows 10 for it.
 
Windows 10 Pro as the primary. Although as VM's I currently have 19 different OS's installed. All the variations of Windows starting with 3.11 to Windows 8. The rest are all Linux variations. Just recently installed Kali 2017.1 and I'm liking it quite a bit. Oh, I almost forgot about IBM O/S 2 Warp 4. That was a fun project...
 
This didn't age well:

given that this is a tech-focused community, it’s much more likely that you aren’t running Windows

Would the one Debian user please stand up?
Writing this reply on my PC running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
PC is a 9 year old Quad Core, runs just fine.
 
So many people still using Windows 7... Doesn't that just make you WannaCry?

Well I say that, but I still use win 7 on my work laptop. Hopefully, I should be updating the next break I catch between projects.

At home, Windows 10, but I'll dual booting to some Linux distro soon, for a couple of projects. Phone's Android 6.
 
Have multiple hard drives, each loaded with a different OS in order to test applications and trouble shoot other systems; but primarily now I'm on WIndows 10 for my systems ....
 
I got fed up with all the Windows updates and virus threats, so I use Debian Jessie on the living room PC. I prefer it to any Windows or Linux versions because the computer is a bit old and only used for streaming using Kodi. Surprisingly, all the Ubuntu versions I tried on this computer did not work well and kodi crashed too often.
Can't wait for Debian Stretch coming in a few weeks.
 
Fully fresh updated Windows XP for Surf internet "without" Antivirus With Palemoon browser with adblock, no single trojan or any crap for almost 2 year. Win 7 Pro 64 on Gaming Pc. Win 10 will wait...
 
Windows 8.1 Pro x64 and Linux Mint, dual boot. Wouldn't touch WIndows 10 with a ten foot pole, so the current plan is for 8.1 to be the last Windows for me. It's been a heck of a run... by 2023 I will have been using Windows for more than 30 years, but I suppose everything has to come to an end.
 
HTPC: dual-boot, Win7 and Win10. (AMD A8, GTX 750TI)
Gamestation: Win7. I just don't use it as often now that the HTPC is running games well. (FX-8120, GTX-660)
Workstations: Win7 and Win10 for Maya/Photoshop/CAD. Both work fine with those programs. (FX-8350, GTX550TI/460)
 
10 Pro - Runs great! Not one single issue. Though, not a fan of Cortana and other BS crap MS shoves in your face! But turn all that nonsense off, it's awesome!
 
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit all the way. I'm honestly shocked to see this many people using Windows 10 as a primary OS. Windows 8.0 was ...well, let's not even talk about that. 8.1 was only marginally better but with a few fixes like Classic Shell it was tolerable, but again, no compelling reason to abandon Windows 7. I've been tinkering with 10 since the early beta days and have installed all the public milestone versions as well as every major fast and slow ring update, and I've seen nothing but heartache. I thought I'd finally hit pay dirt with the latest slow build of the Creator's Update - everything seemed to work fine. Two days later it ate itself for no reason :/ I cannot find a single reason to update including game performance. I've done a good bit of testing on different PCs and haven't seen an iota's worth of gains over Windows 7. The networking on Windows 10 has been consistently buggy for me..machines and devices that show up immediately under older Windows versions take ages to connect, if they ever do.
 
Windows 10 Pro on main pc and media server, MacOS on laptop and mac mini server.

Honestly windows 10 is my favorite OS as of now.
 
Just got a new refurbished computer with windows 10 today free.
Mac osx sierra mainly.
Windows vista on 2 older computers. Has blu ray player, no dual boot errors, no win 10 update errors, $5,000 of working software/need hard disk replaced on one, etc.
Don't like win 7 because 7 day adventists ruined my eyes with 5 bad cataract procedures (about 8 errors.)
