Triple booting Windows 10 2004, macOS Catalina 10.15.3 & Ubuntu 20.04.

 

I actually strongly prefer macOS over Windows & Linux, it's a really nice OS to use but I spend most of my time in Windows playing games.

I grew up on SCO Unix so am jaded against W$. I like the stability and useablity of it. System can run for months without a restart. M$ needs a reboot no longer than a week. Not to mention being riddled with malware/trojens to spy on you. 

I use three flavors of linux at the present. UBU20, Slak and the hacker version :|) But I am a good hacker, honest!

Really nice, I use budgie desktop environment, loving  that. Few issues here and there so don't use it for work, might start daily drive it if those issues are resolved.

Windows 90% of the time, the other 10% is MacOS. 
 

For my next system, I’m looking to triple-boot Windows, MacOS and some form of Linux. 

Ok cool. Currently I am trying Deepin OS in Virtual Box and it is really neat except from the App Store which is slow and mainly in Chinese

I forgot to mention, I’ve been using Kali Linux in a VM for a course I’m currently doing. I’ve found learning some stuff a bit annoying (guess I’m just used to Windows) but overall I’ve been having a good time.
