Windows. Everything is straight forward and I can still make some custom or niche stuff work.

I don't like Linux, because a lot of programs don't work, and I don't want to create my own 3D application or DAW from scratch. Not worth my time.

I don't like Apple because the money I'd put into that I'd rather put to better use.

Regular OS versions upgrades

Windows because I have to use it at work anyway. Also it's simple, nearly everything works out of the box and it's still the best choice for gaming.

Gentoo. It makes me feel like I’m in full control of my system.

My favorite is chromeOS because it requires zero maintenance and I can access all my data, apps, and preferences in minutes on any compatible device by just signing into my account.
