i have a preference for free and opensource software, and try to use/implement where i can.
but, life is never that simple, and we need to use the best tool for the job.
in order of preference for a new task:
- OpenBSD - Can do it all, however maybe too 'opinionated' for some, and some careful hardware selection is required. clean and simple. often seen as a security-os, it's much more than that.
- FreeBSD - A great all-rounder with access to some killer enterprise features, and enough packages for most to get things done. plenty of info and support available, and you don't need to look far to bump into a host.
- Linux - Probabaly what most people think of, cant go wrong really, makes both an excellent server or desktop system, the greatness and stupidity if the vast choice.
- MacOS - Considered one of the best desktop platforms, it has integration second to none, if you can afford the price.
- Windows - like it or not, it's everywhere, and it's ok, although recent releases are raising questions.
