it is definitley windows i have tried Linux and it wasnt as good as windows because there wernt as many softwares available for it but it depends on what you use it for if you want to convert and burn movies and download from YouTube then you should use windows if you want to just browse the web and write stuff use Linux because its faster and it doesnt get as many viruses(it does get viruses)

Answer 3

Linux is an operating system. If you mean what is the best distribution of Linux, then I personally prefer Arch, though Ubuntu seems to be the current hype-du-jour.

As far as I know, Macs have only one OS actually designed for them (OS X), so there is no best or worst Mac operating system, as Apple provides only one.

Of course, you can set up multi-boots in Macs so you can run things like Windows or Linux on your Mac, though Macs seem designed to overcomplicate setting up a dual-boot thanks to it not using a partition scheme Windows or Linux might anticipate. Windows more than Linux, as Linux can actually support the GPT natively in its kernel. Windows cannot without drivers tricking it into thinking its an MS-DOS partition table.

Answer 4

I think its Linux because it wont get so easily overloaded even if you have a lot of applicvations running.

Answer 5

We can not say which is best

Answer 6

The best OS for a computer is based on opinion. However, most people will say the newest OS is the best OS. The only OS that I think has ever been a disappointment is Windows Vista.
