Poll: What OS do you currently use? • Hacker News Board

Windows at work because I have to, and Arch Linux on everything else with a Windows partition on my main desktop's home drive to play games on and any other miscellaneous things I needs Windows for (not much at all these days).

OS X with Ubuntu 12.04 on Virtual Box.

Qualifies as the OS X answer.

Perhaps you should reformulate the poll to "Which OS do you use most frequently?" or "From which OS did you answer this poll?".

I see one vote for Other without any comment explaining which other OS it is. I'd be interested to see what pops up: Android, ChromeOS and FirefoxOS are really Linux variants; I suppose iOS stands on its own. VMS is certainly in use but probably not on the desktop. I suppose there are some Solaris folks...what else?

Happy running Linux (Arch/Cyanogenmod) on all of my devices except for the one I work on Windows (the product) from.

Ubuntu and Linux (other)? Really? What, do people think that Ubuntu is suppose to be the "be all, end all" of Linux or something?

Anyway, rant aside, I use Fedora Linux on my laptop and a mix of Fedora and CentOS on servers.
