#72I use all of these so I upvoted all of them. At home I use a Windows machine, two Arch Linux boxes, and an ARM Arch distro. I have a VPS with Ubuntu on it. At work I mostly use FreeBSD as my workstation and the production server cluster uses it. We have an ubuntu box in there somewhere too. Most of the office is using mac, so if the mood strikes me to go mobile with a laptop I pick one up from a stack of the things a…
There's no point in upvoting them all...

#73Ubuntu 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.
I don't mean 13.04 in particular, I mean Ubuntu in general (though 13.04 does come with some nice UI updates). Before I became a developer, I used Windows. When I started trying to get into more serious development, trying to do it in Windows was just awful. Ubuntu was a breath of fresh air. From an interaction standpoint, minor things like workspaces, always-on-top, etc are great for my workflow. Things often take more work to get up and running due to various issues like hardware incompatibility or lack of software support, but once you do get it running I feel like it's smoother and more stable than Windows. Software management (e.g. installing and removing packages, adding and installing from various sources, updating) is more logical and consistent than for Windows (e.g. downloading and installing executable, managing updates individually).
This is all subjective and I wouldn't consider myself an expert on either OS so I could be wrong on some accounts, but that has been my experience.

... except for the fact that I use them all, so all of them should be voted for?
