Which OS do you use on DU?

[twenty4blackbirds]

I'm inspired by http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2007/11/linux_figures_1.html So this is an unscientific poll to find out which "Operating System" is most popular on DU.

If you use more than one (like me) then pick the one you prefer to use.

1. Operating System Market Share for October, 2007

2. Interesting stats. Says something about DUers?

6. Well Mac users are pretty far down the list in single digits, and so is my candidate. nt

[DCKit]

7. Poster #1 meant "How progressive!"

Linux here. It was a monster to set up the wireless, but I'm glad I did.

3. thanks

Interesting site. Wish my workplace's web designer referenced the browser section.

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Most of the time Mac and I am glad I made the switch

[gateley]

5. Mac and proud of it. nt

[Nostradammit]

8. Am forced to use Vista

but don't extrapolate for one second that it's popular with me.

Thanks.


(My beloved Mac never, ever touches the internet.)

9. SO's gaming Windows aims to be saved from the internet

46 Windows : 44 Mac : 11 Linux : 0 other

12. .3 -.8 is nothing.

And I doubt that 10% are using linux at DU.

[Breeze54]

13. Do you really mean "which browser"?

I use a Windows OS and I use Firefox for my browser.

[twenty4blackbirds]

14. Hi Breeze54,

I'm interested in OS. As per the link to the bbc.co.uk blog, they are revising their estimate of OS users (specifically, Linux). I'm guessing that DU caters better than BBC for all OS. icbw.

At work I use Windows & Firefox too. But at home I'm on Linux & Firefox.

[Basileus Basileon]

16. No doubt.

[TahitiNut]

17. CP/M

:evilgrin:

[Tesha]

25. I'll see your CP/M and raise you RT11! Or even OS/8 and TOPS/10! (NT)

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

18. SimplyMEPIS Linux

http://www.mepis.org

Works great for me...stuff like 3d desktop and got me some Wine and I'm playing Kyodai Mahjongg (Windows game I bought some time ago, only 2d so far!) and Windows'98 Solitaire.

[David Zephyr]

19. Mac and Windows both. Depending where I am.

I am an Apple guy, but for me, the DU's easy on both OS and I use both about equally.

20. this reminds me of the posts by newer member(s) asking if we eat organic

Then all those toxic organic spinach episodes happened.
:think:

[twenty4blackbirds]

21. I regret to say...

I do not eat OS so their toxicity is not a problem for me ;-) joking aside, computer parts are fairly toxic to the environment :-/ then again I tend to pack-rat gadgets...antique value, y'know? Or, not.

[Swamp Rat]

22. ALL of them!

Every operating system known to humans AND aliens from outer space. :D

[twenty4blackbirds]

23. All your OS are belong to us (n/t)

[Neshanic]

24. Why Vista of course. I like living on the edge.

[IDemo]

26. Mint

I highly recommend giving Linux Mint a try if you've been hesitant about Linux. It's a "flavor" of Ubuntu Linux with additional support for media 'codecs', a great control center, and easy setup.

[twenty4blackbirds]

27. Thanks all.

49 Windows : 36 Mac : 12 Linux : 3 Other.

I look forward to the results of the Candidates straw poll http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3697166

[Melynn]

30. Mac for me n/t
