Which operating system do you use and why

[coffee412]

Fedora is my workhorse. I have too much fun with it to really give it up. However, I boot Ubuntu on a separate drive to experiment with.

I really cannot think of any reason why I would run windows.

Arch linux is my main desktop OS, got debian stable on most everything else, ubuntu on the server.

Windows 7. It works on my Athlon XP machine great which means I essentially won't need to upgrade my hardware for another ten years. 8)

Ubuntu solely

For me it is a pretty even split between Arch on my desktop and OS X on my Macbook. Personally I feel more comfortable with Arch, but OS X is very reliable and since the laptop is a Macbook... well, OS X sort of makes sense.

Dual boot Ubuntu and Win7 on my laptop. Ubuntu on my other two boxes.

Asking a question like this on ubuntu forums is bound to have bias in it...

I use Fedora - its my primary OS because its up to date, has a great KDE implementation and has great package management (yum and RPM).

Yeah but it sort of came about from this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1804645 and so was a little to do with what people look for in an os. Also a suprising amount of people here don't use ubuntu as their main os, but like the friendly atmosphere.
