What is the best operating system?

There have been numerous debates on which operating system is the best to use as a software engineer. You will find someone in every corner trying to convince you that the operating system they use is the best. The truth is though it comes down to preference and what kind of software you are using at the end of the day. Even in your job it will come to what the business prefers and what software they are invested in. At my work we are highly invested in Microsoft so it is only natural that we use Windows 10. Granted it’s not my favorite operating system, but that is just my preference. In reality as a software engineer I would suggest that you get familiar with all the operating systems, well mainly Microsoft, OS, and one Linux distribution that you like. This is so you will have experience working in all 3 and be able to adapt when your job calls for it. So I wouldn’t focus on which operating system is better and just learn to use the 3 of them, this will ultimately help you in the long run. Don’t let people convince you that one operating system is better to code in than another either because that just isn’t true. They are all fine to code in and again that really just comes down to preference.
