Windows for leisure...
Linux for work.
OSx?... Only had to use it once and for about 5 minutes... I felt completely out of my element.
My laptop has Windows pre-installed, so I kept it. It's working fine. Firefox runs fine, except for crappy excessive use of JavaScript on some pages (looking at you Facebook and photobucket). Video reencoding goes through handbrake just fine and all my audio editing needs are met by audacity.
Winamp kicks the llama's ass.
Putty (because openSSH doesn't work in win 10) for my connectivity needs.
And then there's games.
Oh, and stupid bosses and their top bosses are creating documents in word or excel for us to read and, sometimes, edit and send back... Can't escape the M$.
Linux at work. I was using a fedora with cinnamon for GUI. Works well enough. Can't complain of it being slow on the i3 I was provided with. I had to dual boot on that machine though... For some strange reason the processor's virtualization features were disabled in the bios, and it didn't have the option to enable them. So no virtual machine for me.
But...when most of my work consists of VNCing or SSHing to another machine and working there, OS responsiveness isn't very noticeable.
(Don't forget, when VNC is in full screen and you hit ctrl+ alt+L to lock the screen, you're locking the remote machine... Your own remains unlocked -.-)
