Poll: What operating system do you use?

6 points by LorenDB 3y ago

I've been tracking some basic analytics on my blog[0] and noticed that HN traffic seems to have a skew towards Apple hardware. This got me wondering: what do HNers like to use? I figure dang has much more precise data on this than a poll will achieve, but in the spirit of keeping his load low, please leave a vote here :) If you daily multiple systems or platforms, just choose the one you prefer the most. EDIT: I'm mainly looking for desktop systems here. Maybe we could have a separate mobile poll? [0]: https://lorendb.dev

Why no iOS?

  Do you daily drive iOS as a desktop OS?

    Nowhere does your post say desktop :) And I typically read HN on iOS.

      Sorry, I thought it was kinda implied.

        Why? People read blogs and HN on their phones.

Admittedly it's less than an hour in, but Linux 6 to MacOS 2?

  For some reason, HN doesn't appreciate such polls, see also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37211765 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37211765

macOS for work and personal. Windows purely for gaming.
