/g/, what's your favorite OS and what is your favorite piece of software?

I wanna get a better feel of where this place stands when it comes to PCs other than "install gentoo"

Windows 7, but that's going to change if Microsoft fucks up again.

Windows 10 and whatever Linux distro I'm trying out.

Chrome. Auto hot key. Python 3.5. onenote and keep. Drive.

Yeah it's a bot net, but it's a very convenient botnet. I'd trade it all for free software but nothing compares.

Favourite OS = BeOS (along with the enhanced versions put out under YellowTab / Zeta). This OS was the most responsive I've ever had the pleasure of using as a daily driver, and the UI is just delicious. I wish Haiku's development would pick up the pace so I can get off the Linux train (been on Xubuntu as my main for 4 years, after a brief affair with OS X) and start using a BeOS-like OS on modern hardware.

Favourite piece of software = Winamp. It is the only thing I miss from Windows, and I haven't ran Windows as a main OS in over 8 years on any of my personal machines. This is a really broad question though.

Favorite OS:
Xubuntu, specifically 16.04. It's so refined compared to previous versions. Menus that looked butt-fuck ugly now look crisp and clean. Splash and fstab smb mounting now work again, and my reboots/shutdowns are faster than ever.

Favorite Software: At the moment, either QEMU + KVM or the new spotify linux release.
