Arch Linux
Can't stand windows.

Win 10，no other choice for me.

window 7. it is best os ever for me.

Debian 9 + MATE now (previously Ubuntu 16.04 + MATE) - cant do rolling distros - tried 'latest' Manjaro and first thing it tells me is "you have 3000 upgrades blahblah..." ...no just ... no (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The correct response is of course to upgrade more frequently than once every five months.

I do this in Debian Sid and it works fine. Also I don't have to sit through massive upgrades that take hours every year or so.

I also have windows 7 on a second hard disk I haven't booted since sometime in 2015 on my desktop, so that will probably have a few updates available.

'few' haha... I think I do have my old copies of 32-bit 7 and 64-bit 8.1 lying around but now I'm toying with the idea of installing 32-bit Win10 - unactivated - just for the hell of it, maybe treat it as sandboxed/offline gaming VM or something

The Debian machine is on old-ish hardware anyways - 4th or 5th gen Intel (dunno and don't care) - so I don't mind not having latest and greatest everything

Win 10

You mean 4th/5th gen core i* series?
My laptop which I am typing this on has a 1st generation i5 (Thinkpad X201, 2010, Westmere).
My oldest currently running Debian machine is a Dell Latitude D610 (Pentium M, 2005).
Both run great with up-to-date Debian. Even the D610, which only has a 40GB HDD.

My newest machine has a 3rd generation i5-3350p (home-built desktop circa 2012/2013, Ivy Bridge) with a GTX 750 Ti graphics card (2014, Maxwell - upgrade from GT 630 because it was failing). This also runs Debian sid.

Windows 10

Window10
It's best

I currently use Windows 10 and I don't have any issues with it like other people.

I for one welcome our all-knowing overlords and the prosperity they will bring to us with their targetted advertising and unknowable other usage of the personal information of us, their humble serfs

Gentoo, gnu is the best thing that ever happened to computers.

Reminder that Stallman doesn't like Gentoo because it doesn't have "GNU" in the title. I.e. Gentoo Linux instead of Gentoo GNU/Linux.
Not that I particularly mind, but I think it's funny that you mention GNU in the same sentence.
