    Actually, I use all 3 main OS systems: Windows 10, MacOS and Linux.
    Windows is used for everyday tasks: email, browsing, Powerpoint, etc
    Linux is used for software development: Deep Learning, etc.
    MacOS is run on my "old" Macs - Mac Pro workhorse (2 x 3.46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon) - very stable and reliable.

    Re: QOTW: Which desktop operating system(s) do you use?

    two main desktops have win10 and win7, and i have a bunch of laptops and tablets running win7, win10, osx, and android. i also have VM's with all sort of stuff inc osx, linux and also win95 and win 3.1 as i have an old game that runs on that. plus got win98, xp etc as VM's

    i kept win7 on one desktop as win10 didn't support the raid cards but i've since replaced them so it's a matter of time till i instal win10 as a dual boot initially before going all in w10

    it's mainly hardware and drivers that hold me back as my machines are upgraded with all sorts of stuff and sometimes a lot of old cards are used

    You can run WMC on Windows 10 - https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/discussion-patch-wmc-to-run-on-windows-10-final-possible-alternatives.61061/

    I use WMC-V8.8.1_x64_by_T-S.7z.

    Re: QOTW: Which desktop operating system(s) do you use?

    Windows 10 Pro for home, gaming and some work, been pretty stable and have only done the one complete rebuild since I upgraded from Windows 7. For pure work I'm still using Windows 7 enterprise, resisting the update to Windows 10 as that just brings in more corporate lock downs.
    For gaming I have a Picade running Raspbian.

    Re: QOTW: Which desktop operating system(s) do you use?

    I use Windows 10 Pro on most machines though I still have Windows 7 Ultimate installed on a desktop for playing games that are incompatible with Windows 10. On the whole I'm very happy with Windows but I wish Microsoft would stop removing features that I use regularly such as Disk Clean-up and the snipping tool. They're not gone yet but are due to be removed soon.

    I also have a dual boot laptop with Ubuntu Desktop on it that I use for repairing the disk drive that I use with my Samsung TV. The TV has a habit of corrupting the file system which is XFS. The only tools I've found to repair the XFS file system are on Linux so it's saved me losing my recorded programs on several occasions.

    If you do a Win 7 update to 10 you keep media centre

    UFS explorer works for me...
