For me it's still Windows 7... more polished than 10. Infact I'm using Windows 7 now because Windows 10 doesn't like one of my Hard Disks after I did a check disk on it. Windows 7 seems more accepting of it so I'm able to access it. I use to use Linux Mint 18 but it was really for a rescue alternative for fast booting and accessing drives / the internet. Windows 7 seems to have take that place now as a back up to Windows 10. The only thing Windows 10 has over Windows 7 is being able to access all my ram that I have (20 Gigs). having to buy a third party program to make Windows 10 look more prettier and a free alterntive to customise the Start menu seemed like a bit much, but then Windows 10 didn't cost me anything from upgrading from Windows 10, so I've not paid much to get it really than what it normally costs.

If you need to stick to 7 see if you can get a cheap online license for a Win7 Pro key (must be super cheap by now), which will up the limit to ram limit to something like 192gb. When I upgraded to a pro 7 license I seem to remember (was years now) you just enter the new license key, restart the machine and BOOM it's Win7 Pro

Never met an OS I actually like, but I use Windows because it's compatible with the things I want to do.

Well frankly,they can pry my Windows Vista from my cold,dead hands when I'm six feet under
and that's ONLY after a 6 month waiting period if I haven't rung the bell next to my headstone

Best for what?

Music production = Mac OS
Server stuff = Linux, usually Ubuntu or Debian

Windoze = poo flung by monkeys

What is it with this urge to insult millions of people?
Perhaps I should join in: Apple makes crap using slave labour.

I use both. I make music on both. I run my business on W10.
I never had problems with either and, on the iMac, I only use Ableton and Bitwig and actually, beside producing music with these DAWs, I don’t “feel” amazed by the OS (probably because I don’t adventure outside music making).

I prefer W10 overall because I can run Business and Pleasure and literally “hands on” (touch screen) with my applications.

I insulted Windows, not the users. Big difference. I like people, and dislike Windows.

Arguable.

Anyway, my condolescence (for using Mac OS).

I have quite a few plugins which don't have a native M1 version. That would suck.

I use ~3 different OSs on a typical day.

General life stuff, work, science, programming: desktop Linux (liking Fedora at the moment but lots of good options)

The above but on a nice laptop and occasionally needing to run Microsoft Office: Mac OS

High performance computing, working with data on virtual machines: whatever Linux is available is fine, probably CentOS

Running commercial VST plugins on sensibly-priced hardware: currently Windows 10. No hurry to move to 11, I have an old but powerful CPU and not sure it's supported.

Not crazy about iOS or Android but I guess they do their jobs well enough.

yabridge is really impressive, I could switch music to Linux if I had to but Windows partition already has stuff installed and plays better with activation. It's good to have the option if Win 11 continues being obnoxious. This is one reason I'm reluctant to buy into stuff like iLok.

Mac OS9.2.2 for completely nostalgia reasons.
