Which OS do you work primarily on ?

I've been using Windows for so long currently running window 8 on my desktop. I think windows is better to develop on than linux. What do you guys think about the war between linux and windows ?

My opinion is this:
- For .NET-based languages, Windows is easier to develop.
- For most other languages, Linux is easier to develop.

Don't care. No version of *nix has ever paid my bills. OpenVMS used to, Windows does now.

What war? There is no war, just like there is no war between arable and dairy farmers. There are just people doing their work. The only way to win, in this non-existent war, is by doing your own work well, and leaving the other guys to get on with doing their own work well. Losses can only be taken as acceptable during a war. There is no war, so nobody should suffer any losses. Just do your job and look after your family.

What war? I could maybe think we could have a discussion on PC vs Apple, but since all apples run Windows, even if it's virtual...

I have my preferences over Windows (OS X) but these are my preferences. In all reality what matters most is the tools that you use to get the job done. I do think however you should be skilled enough to work in Windows, Linux or OS X.

Don't neglect to mention that anyone with a non-apple OS has no interest in running it on their machine.

Spot on. The function of an OS is to make the machine's hardware available to the user, allowing him to run useful programs. How anyone can lose sight of that simple truth, I have no idea.

I've been using Windows professionally all my life with a small stint of Mac system 6/7 At home, I use Mac OS for everyday usage and windows for my gaming needs ! I've used Linux about 1 week in the 90's

I develop on whatever the primary target OS is. At the previous job it was Windows Server, at the current job it is SUSE Linux. I don't think any one is objectively "better" for development; it's just a matter of what you are used to.

As others have said, I really don't see this war, if anything, it's something that the media and dogmatic developers have artificially created. I use W7 for everything, including Linux development. Why? Because I think that Windows' usability is actually better than Linux, and that's not just because Linux is "different." I particularly like how Linux runs on small devices -- Arduino, Beaglebone, rPI, etc. It's really easy to develop for these devices and there's great support with either Eclipse or the IDE's that JetBrains produces -- their IDE's are a lot better than Eclipse, IMO, and they allow me to do cross-platform development and get up and running quickly. One thing that still bothers me about Linux is the lack of polished UI-based tools -- too often I'm doing things at the command line with arcane parameters and options. It's so, well, 1970's.

Unless we're thinking of different Olive Stevensons, that's probably a good thing.

Now its windows 8.1 but I nearly always have 6+ Putty sessions open to gentoo linux servers at work and 2 or so at home.

Wow! I just had a flashback to my first 'real' computer system (one that didn't hook up to the TV through an RF device) which was a PowerMac 6100 with OS 7.5.x I must have rebuilt that thing from scratch at least half a dozen times. When I bought my first Windows system with '98 it was a vast improvement in stability...and that's saying something! It's been Windows since then.

I've been on Windows since '98. I soon switched to 2K and didn't switch again until 2009 when Win7 came out, mostly skipping XP except for testing. Currently on Win7 and still happy with it. :) (at least for another 9 months) As for war between Linux and windows, I thought that was over a long time ago? :laugh: For the record, I have tried more than a few Linux distros only to get them up and running, then thinking...'ok, now what?'. :confused:

What war? :confused: I've been a Windows dev for 20+ years, simply because I chose to work on that OS. Many of my dev friends are hardcore *nix and MacOS/iOS devs for the same reason. I recently started hacking Android, but continue to develop for Windows. /ravi

I use both Windows and Linux (in fact I'm using VMs for most of my needs, where the host is Fedora and the guests are mostly Windows with a few CentOS, Ubuntu and Fedora desktops/servers)... As today there is no much difference between development on Windows or Linux, it is a matter of getting used to the environment... However, the maintenance of the development environment (and I mean updates and new tools) are more complicated on Linux... About the war - you have to check all the fronts...On desktop Windows rules with no actual changes in the last decade, but on the server front Windows barely gets the ball...
