Survey – Who’s Got The Best OS?
The acronym OS stands for “Operating System”
What is an operating system? At one point in time it was OK to NOT know this, but nowadays, it’s pretty much unacceptable. Why so?
By definition, an Operating System is: “A collection of software that directs a computer’s operations, controls and schedules the execution of other programs, and manages storage, input/output, and communication resources. Abbreviation: OS”
Lotta tech term mumbo jumbo jibberish, huh? In english please!
The OS is basically one of the (if not THE most) critical pieces of software behind just about every device in use today. Every system must have an OS to do its thing. A simple one or complex. Every device you’ve used has one, and its time you get familiar and begin recognizing their strengths and weaknesses. The better you understand the OS, the sweeter the experience you’ll have when interacting with your device, period. This is crucial to your workflow and progress if you handle any stage of your tasks on a computer. After all, the OS is the foundational environment that all of your apps, drivers, files, folders, etc are built on and rely on to function. This is true for servers, super-computers, desktop computers, laptops, phones, tablets and all the rest.
Developing a solid operating system is no slouching task, so I definitely respect the work that’s done. Especially when it’s done well. With that in mind, there’s ALWAYS a whole lot to love and appreciate about my OS of choice. On the other hand, there’s no shortage of errors, glitches and crashes that often cause some frustrating experiences. Some of them are simple but lingering quirks that could have easily been corrected by the designer, but haven’t for one reason or the other. Others are issues so janky it’d take a re-write from the ground up to make it disappear. In any case, these systems are built with the purpose of our constant usage in mind, so it’s always a good idea to have a say so in these matters.
Legit programmers and developers listen to what their active clients and customers have to say about their tools since we use them everyday. Together, we make up an ecosystem of people who care about positive ingenuity and making things better for the future. So, sharing your thoughts and experiences can definitely help to find solutions to common issues. It also helps to enhance each others user experience and can even influence the next OS innovation in computer technology.
If you are a part of that ecosystem, your perspective counts. Join the discussion!

I’d definitely like to learn more about which is the better operating system. I’m not that knowledgeable but I have inquired before and each professional I’ve encountered judges the answer based upon their own level of skill and expertise. As for me, I believe that each user/owner of specific devices feel comfort in the OS they are most experienced in. Then again, I don’t know jack…
Personally I don’t trust any internet anything. I think if someone doesn’t know anything about an OS aside from how to USE a device, then no one will ever be concerned about the benefits of the OS. Most people only know about the basic benefits like camera, apps, checking emails, emojis, and other cornball/simplistic functions. These are the main concerns when people make their device purchases.
