Windows 7, sadly some of the software I use for work doesn't support WIndows 10 yet.

All the computers in this house except one use Windows 10 Home. The other one is running Windows 8.1

My phone is running Android 5.1 but i'll upgrade to 6.0.1 soon

My parents phones are running iOS 9

I also have a computer that i'll may get back from repair tomorrow, and that i'll install either Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 Pro on.

We also have 2 tablets that run both Android.

Going pure Awesome in tech.

Yeah I haven't been very happy with 15.10 either. Holding off on upgrading my desktop until support for the newer kernel is a little better.

I've been running the daily build of 16.04 and I'm quite impressed. You've got a few bugs from it being alpha quality, but in general it's everything I want from an LTS version.

That's good to hear.

When the 4.2 kernel shipped with 15.10, the AMD drivers didn't like it very much.

That and I'm still warming up to Plasma 5.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

I use 7 on everything currently. At work all of our software works with it and only some will work with 10 due to how old the software is.

My desktop and my wife's desktop have windows 10, my laptop has windows 7 because windows 10 seems to hate it for some reason.

I use dualboot win10 and Linux Mint 17.3 on my laptop.

And Win 10 on PC. I'll dualboot PC too, as soon as I'll get second HDD for Linux.

BTW, Linux is IDEAL for my laptop. Battery life is awesome (especially after I've tweaked some things :P)

Well I'm currently on Windows 8.1, but when I build my new PC it'll be running Windows 10.

Maybe I'll rebuild one of my two laptops and put Ubuntu or ChromeOS on it eventually. (Looks like it might cost a little too much to rebuild either of the laptops.)

I feel that putting "Linux" generically is a terrible idea. Users of Arch and Ubuntu would quickly lynch one another if the chance came.

And this the problem with linux shows it's head, when you pick there is an army of people telling you you're wrong.

Both of my laptops are Windows 10 with Classic Shell.

 

I virtualize a whole bunch of OSs:  Every major version of Windows, the newest versions of Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Fedora, Slackware, FreeBSD, Solaris 9 - 11, OS X 10.6 - 10.11 (minus 10.7).  I also emulate earlier versions of Mac OS: System 6 (which is the same environment as Systems 1-5, so the same basic concept), OS 7, 8, 9, 10.2, 10.4.

I use Windows 8 on my main gaming rig, Windows 7 on my media computer, Ubuntu on my server and OSX on my hackintosh that i use to edit music 

Why do you like OSX for editing?
I'm really concerned about the future or Windows because of how much BS tracking they implemented in it...

At the time I used Logic X as my DAW and that was only available for Mac OS. 

However, in the 2,5 years that has gone by since that post I have moved to Windows and Reaper for my audio editing. I only use Logic X if I'm at a studio now.
