I play a lot of video games at home, so by default I need a Windows OS.

At work as a software developer, I use Linux. Arch in particular, for my laptop. I like Arch because it gives me full control over my PC and OS. I manage my packages, I can install what I want, there is a great community that supports it, and it's lightweight and fast.

Mostly windows. I've run servers on Linux in the past, but wouldn't use it regularly.

I want a mac because they look pretty.

Now with the Apple M1 offering unprecedented speed and battery life, unless you're strapped for cash or need specifically Windows apps, you should seriously consider MacOS.

It won't be long before Windows makes the jump (properly this time) to ARM.  Nothing beats Windows, in my opinion, as an OS tho. MacOS gets many things right but software compatibility and customizability/control is something I can't sacrifice. Linux has the control part right but it always feels like building a house of cards: so easy to mess everything up when you're doing anything - and on Linux I get surprised if something works the first time, on Windows/MacOS I get surprised only if it doesn't.
Wasted too much of my youth on RuneScape. I don't play anymore. Will start again when I'm like 70.

I've had the opportunity to use all three operating systems - Mac, Windows, and Linux - at different times in my life. I was issued an iBook for Freshman year, and a MacBook for grades 10-12. For personal and professional use, I've primarily used Windows and experimented with some desktop environments that ran a Linux distribution from time to time, primarily just for fun. It's been a great experience to work with different platforms and understand their unique strengths and weaknesses. I've learned that each one has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it's essential to be adaptable and versatile when working with different systems. I'm always open to exploring new tools and software to enhance productivity, security, and privacy.

Mac:
Strengths: sleek and user-friendly interface, robust built-in software and features, excellent compatibility with other Apple products
Weaknesses: generally, more expensive than Windows or Linux machines, limited customization options, fewer software options available

Windows:
Strengths: versatile and widely used operating system, a vast array of software options available, easy to use and customize
Weaknesses: can be vulnerable to viruses and malware, occasional issues with stability and reliability, less secure than Linux

Linux:
Strengths: a highly customizable and open-source system base, very secure and privacy-focused, a wide variety of software options available
Weaknesses: steep learning curve for new users, may require more technical expertise, fewer mainstream software options available.
