DC Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Windows has almost undisputed dominance in the PC gaming market simply because most PC games either don't run on competing operating systems at all or run worse. But attempts have been made to render Windows-only games compatible with other operating systems ( e.g. through compatibility layers like Wine and Proton). If there is a piece of software in the future that allows you to run a game on any operating system with minimal problems, what operating system would you like to use on your PC?

skyfire Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I'd say if you want ease of use, I'd stick with Windows. If you want developer based machine, I'd go with Mac. And if you just want machine that does not die on gaming, then maybe Linux. In near future Windows is going to be Linux based, so yeah, no need to go anywhere, Windows will release it's free version of OS which is going to be linux based as they already have ported Linux on their machine.

What has happened, or will happen, to DOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_skeith Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I'd go with LInux since that would be a less of a hassle than Windows, but I guess windows if nothing else since I know it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the way microsoft is slowly leaning towards UNIX and LINUX itself. I don't see microsofts own Powershell and DOS and even command prompt to survive long enough.

ARx182 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Windows. I've never had a problem with the operating system (which is windows if you couldn't tell already) that I run games on, so why change something that is not broken?

While I use a PC, I've been out of the technical side of it since Win98. So I don't have a clue about much of anything anymore. And I have never even come near UNIX or LINUX, so I don't know anything about them other than their name. But from what I gather from your reply, I'm assuming they're an operating system like DOS?

skyfire Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 UNIX and Linux used to be like DOS. Now they have graphics window managers that look like Windows 10. And the thing about Linux and UNIX/BSD based machines is that they don't have much strong requirement of RAM like windows so they tend to perform better than Mac and Windows. So a lot of people who use Windows are slowly moving to it. Me? I am stuck with it because a lot of Windows programs can't run on Linux. Especially the games.

Alexander. Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Windows 10. I've never had a problem using this operating system for the primary use of Gaming, so why I should change when there is no faults? Windows 10 is compatible with an extensive variety of titles and it's user interface is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Windows 10 latest development shows there are lot of issues especially on space allocation, boot and the battery side. Check the h2004 update. That seems to be buggy and a lot of people moved to the Linux because of the same. But yeah I agree in terms of ease of use and getting things done and gaming, Windows is still the king.

DudeThatsErin Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 MacOS, definitely. I own an iPhone and Apple watch so being able to play all my games on Mac just like I am able to on Windows would be amazing. I'd be able to text and answer phone calls from my computer as well. Gosh, that is the dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I wouls still use windows, just because i'm too lazy to introduce myself to a whole new operating system after using windows for almost 15 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I would say that Linux and Windows are definitely majority right now. Mac is too much expensive and I will leave that to the upper rich class to justify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Linux by far, if there support was there. It uses far less resources, less GPU aspects, and tends to not glitch out when it doesn't like something where-as Windows will jsut blue screen or slow down other things it deems "fit".

Shole Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 The same as now, Windwos as I never tried other systems beside Mac one, and the Mac one annoyed me a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
