As a seasoned IT professional with over two decades of experience, I often field questions like:
- "Which OS do you believe reigns supreme?"
- "What's your OS of choice?"
- "Is Linux superior to Windows?"
- "Are you anti-Windows?"
- "Could you assist me in installing Windows on my Mac?"
Here's my setup, and I'll delve into the reasoning behind it:
Daily Operations: My Mac is the linchpin of my daily operations. Whether I'm drafting documents, creating presentations, or troubleshooting via SSH, I require a system that seamlessly integrates with my dynamic workflow. The Mac's stability, coupled with its impressive battery life — especially with the new Apple M1 or M2 chips — firmly establishes it as my top pick.
About Linux: Linux is the undisputed king in the server infrastructure. I've experimented with Linux on the desktop at home, and it's proven to be reliable. Even my gaming endeavors have found compatibility with Vulkan/Mesa and Lutris. However, one day, I tried the same game on Windows and was astonished by the superior visual effects. Hence, I maintain a dedicated Windows setup solely for gaming purposes.
My guiding principle is to evaluate the applications I use and the scenarios in which I employ my devices. By doing so, I can identify the best fit and remain open-minded to trying new things. This approach expands my comfort zone. Becoming proficient with MacOS/Linux/Windows means I'm not tethered to any one specific OS — it's about the OS serving me.
So, sort out your daily run applications and identify your needs, then find which OS/build makes your life easier, and go with it.
