Linux or Windows?

[davidvpn]

Which do you prefer?
I use both depending on what i need.

If i need general usage, windows. If I need demanding software or am hosting a server, linux.

I use ubuntu since it has like the world record fastest booting up time or something.

For personal machines, I strongly prefer Windows. Windows has a UI that is reasonably fast(Though that's kind of dependent on hardware) and easy to navigate. It can run most games pretty well and has a pretty good kernel. However, I am biased towards windows because its what I grew up using and am most familiar with it. On the other hand, the later releases of Windows are notorious for being resource hogs. Many people are attracted to Linux because it is open source and anybody can tinker with it to make it better suit their needs. Some also argue that the resource management on the Linux kernel is far better. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but I prefer windows. It's just kind of a chocolate or vanilla type debate.

Linux for developers, Windows for gaming, and some soft. But Linux most safest.

It all depends on what you want to do.
For a gaming station, Windows can be the solution.
Even if the distributions dedicated to the games under Linux begin to democratize.
For a Server, I will say Linux, then, according to his knowledge and skills, we must choose the Linux's "family" with which we have the most facilities.
For my part, I use GNU/Linux Debian and I'm doing pretty well for my use.

I prefer Windows to my home computer - it has a fast interface and easy navigation. Most games and programs work with it.

 

[Sander k]

I used Linux (Mint and Suse) in the past, now I just use Windows (8.1 Pro and 10 Pro).

 

[ignaciomoreno]

only Linux

 

[willbeonekenobi]

For me too. Linux is improving all the time in terms of gaming.

 

[PauloLancha]

I use both windows and linux depending on what i need.

I usually use windows. but if I need demanding software or I'm hosting a server, linux.

preferably I use Ubuntu

 

[QuantumReverser]

I like them both, however they each have a time and place. Windows I use for my everyday computing and gaming, while I use Linux to set up servers and sometimes for programming.

 

[terry73]

well i used linux because of programming its really good for that but now i shifted to windows again because of gaming and programming i can do both on that

 

[vpscheap]

Linux is better than Windows because of its performance, security, stability, and cost-effectiveness. In Linux, software updates can be done easily and quickly. Most users prefer cheap Linux VPS hosting over a dedicated or shared network.
I would suggest Linux is the best for everyone.

I need both in my life. I find linux best for managing by VPSs and building Websites. Windows is huge, takes up a log of space, so for me goes with the work environment with plenty of capacity in infrastructure, hardware and software. Whereas on a personal level both from the point of view of affordability of VPSs etc, but also the simplicity of using Linux Linux has a big role to play in my Web development life.
