- 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 Uses an outdated version of Darwin.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 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
