What personal computer do you use?

[sq225917]

Windows ten on a high spec gaming laptop, never played a game on it, I use it for cad, 3d and photo work.

And, that you have no idea about MacOS.

In what way is Måns wrong? You could take a look at this list for a hint as to why I'm asking. I personally doubt that Tiger of all releases have a major userbase today.

For what it is worth, in my limited experience Mac users seem to be rather happy upgrading to the latest version supported by their hardware.

Alternative poll made here:

What is your main OS (operating system) at home?

Hey guys and gals, what is your preferred operating system at home? Comments and stories how you have ended up in your current operating system are warmly welcomed. :)

I did explained that it should read Tiger or later but forum software doesn’t allow me to edit. Tiger is the first MacOS that runs only on Intel Macs.

You said you use iPads along Macs, in other words you said you use Macs and the poll has that as an option.

I do not understand the repeated critics. I explained that the forum software does not allow me to change the options, however that I asked admin’s help.

Meanwhile, you have the option to ignore the post or create your own complete poll.

There’s no need to get defensive. I wasn’t being critical at all, just trying to provide the information you requested. I’ll bow out now.

All flavours of Linux has just 2.3% of the market. Are you telling us that for some reason "the significant proportion" of ASR members use that OS? Why would that be?

Sample bias.

Sorry, I missed your edit. I understand your intent now and that makes sense.

I have three PCs and two tablets, and the survey doesn't allow more than two votes.

Main laptop is Windows 10, but too old to run W11.
I have a laptop on my workbench for REW and other test software running W7, as that's the last OS that has drivers for the Lexicon interface I use for measurements. I also have a laptop still on XP, as that's the last OS that has drivers for my Digigram VX Pocket sound card that I use for live recording, and for S-PDIF I/O.
My tablets run W10 and can't be updated to W11, so they'll stay on W10 unless Microsoft relax the updating requirements.

Your thread title is

but voting title is

What is the Operating System do you use ​

those are two completely different things. ​

 

[Zek]

So? Vote as it says, comment as it says.

Not that there are different OS that can run on it.

Some people are running Linux on them.

@sarumbear You have confused operating systems with computer configurations.

 

[Apesbrain]

Two desktops and four laptops running Win 10; all HP. One Lenovo server running Win 7.

@sarumbear You have confused operating systems with computer configurations.

Not confused, mixed — intentionally.
