Are you a Mac, a Linux, or Windows?

What is the difference these days? Very soon even "PC" x86 machines will use UEFI like Macs. This poll conflates hardware architectures with operating systems. As a "paraphrase" on HHGTTG, "Mostly useless".

Linux Mint, specifically. My setup is in GitHub at <a href="https://github.com/duncan-bayne/mint-setup/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/duncan-bayne/mint-setup/</a> (very much a work in progress still).<p>I'm surprised to see so many HN folks running Macs ... I'd have thought that Apple's antipathy towards hacking &#38; hackers would put people off.<p>But then maybe geeks aren't as immune to fashion as we'd like to think ;-)

They're all 'PCs'. Possibly you mean: 'Mac, <i>Windows</i>, Linux'.<p>In which case, you're missing out the *BSDs. (And, if you want to go even further, Haiku &#38; Amiga.)

Shouldn't that be Mac, PC, or Linux?

Mac. Because with one you can have all three.

My vote: Dual boot Windows 7 on a Macbook?
