Windows and OS X have both gotten progressively worse over the last 10 years. Everything past Windows 7 is terrible, and the iOS-ification of the mac OS X platform has killed it for me. I much preferred the UI/UX of the old Classic Mac OS. Apple should have just plopped that on top of Darwin (I would probably still be a mac user). Fedora is good enough, and definitely breaks less often than a Windows install (which is a big change from even a few years ago).

>Fedora is good enough, and definitely breaks less often than a Windows install (which is a big change from even a few years ago). My experience is completely different. Not with Fedora, but with Linux in general. I've never actually managed to hose my Windows system. Closest I've gotten is when installing custom themes on Windows 7 and done fucked my explorer.exe, so my GUI was gone, but I was able to fix it with cmd. On other hand I've mauled multiple Linux installations to a point where screens are just black or login screen won't even show or system doesn't even recognise MBR on the disk. OSX so far I haven't been able to break, but it might be just because I haven't actually tried to tweak it in many ways. Currently I'm kind a tied in the Apple ecosystem, so I just run OSX on my laptop/hobby machine and Windows on my "gaming rig", but I use Linux daily for work.
