RE: Mac or Linux or Windows?? #8
Darwin (Mac OSX core) based operating systems:
  • Mac OSX (5.5/10) - An OK OS that works out of the box.  Mac OSX is fully POSIX compliant, and you can compile all the same stuff as you can on Linux. CLOSED SOURCE
  • PureDarwin - A broken attempt at making an open-source, Darwin-based OS.  Uses an outdated version of Darwin.

GNU + Linux distros:
  • Arch Linux (8/10) - A good, rolling-release Linux distribution. You need to set up everything yourself.  It has all the packages (programs) that you would need in the AUR.
  • OpenSUSE (7/10) - A very stable, good distro.  A good thing is that the tumbleweed version is rolling-release.  You might have trouble finding some packages.
  • Debian (5.5/10) - An ok distro.  Can be made rolling-release.  Great for home servers and beginners.
  • Ubuntu (2/10) - A very easy-to-use distro.  Based on Debian.  Never rolling release. Will break after a few months of usage. Something will go wrong in the first two weeks.  Terrible.
Windows-like distros:
  • Windows XP (0/10) - Had it's time.  Now it's old and broken. DO NOT USE, TERRIBLE SECURITY
  • Windows Vista (0/10) - Shitty, bloated OS. DO NOT USE, OLD AND NON-SUPPORTED
  • Windows 7 (0.3/10) - Not a terrible UI.  Slow and shitty, better than vista and XP. Has support for many programs.
  • Windows 8 (0.1/10) - Microsoft went insane. Unstable and shitty.  Has support for many programs. Hated by many users
  • Windows 8.1 (0.2/10) - Microsoft added a normal menu to a shitty OS
  • Windows 10 (2.2/10) - Microsoft made an OS that isn't as bad as before.  Not POSIX compliant.  Rolling-release.  Slow.  Will last longer than Ubuntu, but still sucks.
  • ReactOS (2/10) - Has potential, but sucks as of now.  An effort to make an open-source operating system that is binary-compatible with Windows.  Sorta works.  Is a WIP.

That enough for ya?

Spoiler:
Note that Windows 10 scored higher than Ubuntu
