I've only ever used Windows extensively...

I've only used Windows and I've growned fond of it.



Pixel Art can be fun.

If I truly had time to commit and learn it, OpenBSD would be what I would run, so OpenBSD. But Ubuntu does everything I need and more, so that for now. :)



Ubuntu, I've considered using that.

You can burn it to a CD and run it from the CD to test-drive it without erasing windows. You can even sign up for them to send you the disk by mail. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu

Linux > Mac >= Windows

The Mac OS is alright, but Windows is way better if you want a lot of freedom with your computer. My attitude is that with a Mac you are always trying to coax it into doing something whereas with Windows you can usually get it to do what you want without too much trouble.

Obviously Linux is the best option for that if you know what you are doing.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

I've had the exact opposite experience as you.



The inability to move the taskbar at the top, the shittiness of the dock at the bottom, the inability to fully maximize a window, the placing of the minimize/maximize/close options on the left of a window rather than the right (natural inclination of 90% people is to move right with the hand, so its cumbersome), and a million other things make the Mac experience a shitty one for me.

And I have spent a lot of time on Macs and even help Mac people with computer problems sometimes.

Linux, any distro really, but I use Ubuntu.
