I use different OSes for different purposes. I use Windows in Parallels on a Mac, alongside several other Macs running various versions of OSX. I have a FreeBSD 9.1 server and an Arch Linux server, as well as a bunch of VPSes I use in my cluster.
I also have a laptop I use to run AROS and an older laptop and a couple of PCs that run Plan9. To be fair the PCs and laptop are mostly switched off, I mainly used them for distributed processing.
I desperately want to run AROS as a main OS but it's just not there yet for me. I've got haiku on my list of things to try as a personal desktop OS.
I use a mixture of iOS, stock Android and custom-built cyanogenmod firmwares on mobile devices. Granted, Android is technically Linux but I'm surprised neither that nor iOS were down as options.
- themodelplumber 13y agoAROS is an Amiga thing, right? What makes you want to run that in 2013? Just wondering what I may have missed, as a former Amiga owner.
- iuguy 13y agoI reluctantly started to move away from the Amiga as a primary OS in the late 90s and finished some time in the mid noughties. I've kept going back to AROS in the hope that I can get something Amiga-like going, but there's so much more that needs to be done to make it usable on a modern laptop.
- FireBeyond 13y agoI loved Amiga as much as the next guy… I remember installing a Kickstart ROM as a fourteen year old. But what desktop paradigms does Amiga offer now that aren’t present in other OS’s?
