I use a Macbook Air, but spend most of my time in Ubuntu. I've just come to like doing all my development work in it. I use OS X in places where I run into services that don't support Ubuntu.

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?

Would you consider ReactOS Windows... or Linux?

I use different OSes for different purposes. I use Windows in Parallels on a Mac, alongside several other Macs running various versions of OSX. I have a FreeBSD 9.1 server and an Arch Linux server, as well as a bunch of VPSes I use in my cluster. I also have a laptop I use to run AROS and an older laptop and a couple of PCs that run Plan9. To be fair the PCs and laptop are mostly switched off, I mainly used them for…

AROS is an Amiga thing, right? What makes you want to run that in 2013? Just wondering what I may have missed, as a former Amiga owner.

Windows at work, Mac OS X on personal laptop. But both of them are basically just SSH clients.

CentOS/RHEL on servers.

What machine do you run Ubuntu on, or is it in a VM?

I use Windows 8 in my two PCs because it's fast, I like the UI and I'm in love with Office.

Server runs OpenSUSE.

Ubuntu 13.04 and loving every minute of it. Dual-boot Windows 7 for various things like gaming and managing my Zune HD. I've considered running Mint or some other popular distro on an old laptop of mine.

What do you like about 13.04? I have it on a machine here but I mostly do 3D animation work on it, and don't really interact much with the Ubuntu-ness.

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, with an Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit guest running inside VMWare Workstation. It's usually always on, and I use the VM heavily for dev.
