    Windows > Linux. I say that as a Linux (Ubuntu) user. I know the average Linux user won't agree with me.

    It depends on what you want to do with your PC, I use Linux for specific reasons. If you're an average user (95% of computer users) you're better off with Windows.

    Mac? I don't know, as far as I understood, it combines the best the traits of Windows and Linux, but that's just my theory, I have used it only for a few minutes in my friends house.

    Both MacOS and Windows have their advantages and disadvantages.

    When I was a child, I had Windows computers. But at the age of 18 I got my first MacBook, iPhone and iPad. Then I realized how convenient these devices are. Yes, sometimes there are problems, for example with the fix disk not readable issue, but I just read the https://setapp.com/how-to/fix-disk-not-readable-issue article and fixed everything. Apple is a very reliable company, it has earned trust. Rarely can something break or malfunction.

    Home Office:
    3 Lenovo ThinkPad Laptops with docking station
    I don't think Lenovo fits in here.

    I believe at some stage you switched to Japanese on your macbook and took a screenshot. This cant be desktop of a real Japanese since it lacks basic daily use Japanese apps (for example LINE).

    Proud Mac user for 10 years. At work I have to use Windows, which is a hassle since I am used to a Mac keyboard in terms of shortcuts. Windows Update is also annoying as hell.

    Mac is so much better. I also have some Linux experience and using a UNIX based OS feels so much superior.
