[libreoffice-users] [OT] Operating Environment Survey

The big discussion of Linux over the past 24+ hours has me wondering: What operating environment(s) 
do other members of this list use at home and at work? What factors influence the choice?

To set the tone, here are my answers:

• I am retired so "at work" is not applicable
• At home we have a desktop dual boot Windows XP (and Ubuntu Linux) computer, a laptop dual boot 
Kubuntu Linux (and pre-installed Windows Vista) computer and several other laptop, desktop, and 
dedicated server (Ubuntu Linux based) computers. I also have Android Lollipop, Android Kit Kat, and 
Android Jelly Bean tablets and phones. I have nothing from Apple.
• Windows XP is used primarily for single player gaming and e-Sword Bible software though it also 
is used to run LO, FireFox and Pegasus Mail (proprietary though free of cost).
• Kubuntu Linux is my general purpose "go to" environment. My first Linux system used what I 
believe was the penultimate marketed version from SuSE before the first release of Open SuSE. I 
liked the flexibility that was inherent in the KDE desktop environment and found the UI to be quite 
similar to that of Windows at the time. I have briefly tried Gnome and Unity desktop environments 
but KDE is my personal first choice.
• If I had a tablet computer that I thought could support my Linux usage it, too, would run Kubuntu 
Linux, LO, etc.
• Apple equipment is too expensive for me and from what I've heard about the company's software 
policies, they are too restrictive to suit me.
• Dual boot capabilities are seldom used to deviate from the above information.
• The BSODs on Windows influenced my initial adoption of Linux.
