So which one OS is best for programming?
Windows,Linux or OSX?
Whatever you're most comfortable with.
Crack is a helluva drug
>>53577447
Free BSD
>>53577447
Which hand is the best to use?
>>53577468
I personally use my third leg ;)
>>53577468
Left, so I can browse and fap at the same easily.
>>53577447
Windows
>Graphic programming( not that crap that runs 3FPS on LOONIX)
>Most of the best Compilers and Editors are on Windows(VS blows the communistsfag up)
>Virus programming(Yeah u cant do that shit on LOONIX systems except for the -rm rf HAXX KID BULLSHIT)
>Probably revenue (Implying the PoorLoonix fags paid for software in their entire lifes
>>53577447
Windows 10
>>53577574
>MicroShill releases your program as a subscription before you even get the chance to compile it
Linux, also because installing libraries and stuff is way easier and running local dev servers for stuff is more comfy.
>>53577540
>Graphic programming
>>53577639
hahaha fucking weebdev spotted
go to ur PHP fucking codemonkey
>>53577540
>>53577829
Shut up winkid
windows is horrible for programming. you have shitty tools to work with and even when there's windows support it's usually shitty. it's like the opposite of gaming.
linux is great, osx seems to be very popular among programmers too. i don't know which is better because i've only used linux.
>>53577829
Yeah, only web devs use libraries.
Wut?
>>53577890
I did customer support for a short period for a streaming site. I noticed the head devs would use Apples but all their code monkeys used Ubuntu. They had one windows PC with vista to test things.
>>53577944
u gotta keep testing on that fucking acient piece of shit that is IE
>>53577944
probably because macpro's are expensive as fuck and they don't want to purchase those for monkeys. i know that many companies provide their employees with macpro's only. facebook for example.
>>53577540
I know this is a troll, but just in case some uneducated person is reading-
>Graphic programming
QT is available on all systems and can even be used for portable apps.
>Compilers and editors
VS is provably significantly worse in time and speed.
Most editors are cross platform.
>Virus programming
The most insecure platform is the best platform for exploits? No shit.
>Probably revenue
Have you heard of OSX before? I just got my boss to pay $20 for Alfred just because I wanted to bind keys to launching a new terminal window.
>>53577829
So you prefer 4chan not existing?
>>53577447
Linux
>>53577447
Linux is best for embedded systems programming
Windows is best (slightly better than Linux in terms of ease of use) for everything else that isn't iOS development
>>53577447
>>53577639
>>53577890
>>53578070
>>53578105
Linux is not an OS, technology illiterates.
>>53577447
Anon, don't listen to all the ruby ajax osx fags, linux ex-neet sysadmins, or the pajeet windows devs. Real programmers use Plan 9.
Oh es ecks
>>53577447
OSX, by far.
>>53578134
go away uriel
>>53578045
Do you want an honest answer?
Macs
Linux without the hassle of having to set it up exactly how you need it.
>>53578225
Probably not, because it probably is yes.
GNU/Linux: Amazon search spyware
Windows: Backdoors & botnet
OS X: Serious programming environment

how do i make directx game for windows while i'm in linux?
>>53578307
on WM u moron
>>53578355
what is WM?
>>53577455
fucking /thread
>>53578371
i meant VM
>>53577447
Depend on the language. C# is Windows.
>>53577540
nice shitpost me friendo xDDD
>>53578303
I make 95K a year doing that minus the starbucks
I prefer working from home
So... why is it not "serious" again?

>GNU/Linux: Amazon search spyware
>Ubangoo loonix is the only distro I've heard of
ok
>>53578307
why can't you just make the game on linux

>StackOverflow's 2016 developer survey has OS X beating Linux and Windows as top developer OS
https://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2016
>Chrys Bader, Product Manager, Google
>I was a die-hard PC user my entire life, until about 2 years ago.
>The reason I switched was simple: The best software for development existed on OS X. The best developers were on Macs, so they built the best tools on Macs for Macs. Slowly everyone started to switch over to OS X because it was where all of the best software was. The different software started to integrate with each other, and the network of developers and tools became even stronger. It's a self-perpetuating situation.

Except it is not at all Linux. OSX is a based on Darwin, a unix-like based on BSD. Linux is a unix-like developed independently of unixes.
That said, OSX is a pretty excellent environment.
Really, the best environment depends on your needs. If you need customizability and have time, Linux is great; OSX is good for getting started quickly and easy access to tools. If you need to conform to an outdated and shitty office standard, Windows.
Personally I use TempleOS exclusively. Any connectivity I need is handled by my phone.
>>53578443
le target audience is not on linux
>>53578132
Linus would disagree, fuck you.
>>53578657
Linus said various times what Linux is, a kernel.
He created Linux, went through every single line of code, it would be simply retarded of him to call X thing a Y, even worse, he created X, so being confused about what it is is simply autistic.
>>53578751
He calls it both kernel and operating system.
>>53577447
linux tails
Visual Studio is on linux u faggots have no reason to use windows beyond fucking gayming.
>>53578307
well for some environments windows is better, for example if you need windows shit or you're doing .NET for some reason. but for most tech you will be much better off with linux.
>>53578475
>Windows split into 5 groups
Windows absolutely won that survey, but that doesn't mean shit. Windows will always dominate by sheer amount of users. That doesn't mean they made the choice to use Windows, it was already installed on their computer. What matters is the comparison of percentage of developers using System A vs percentage of normal users using System A.
>OSX - 20% dev market vs 10% consumer market
>Linux - 20% dev vs 1% consumer
>Windows - 60% dev vs 89% consumer
So a weight adjusted ranking is:
1. Linux - 20x market share amongst devs
2. OSX - 2x market share amongst devs
3. Windows 0.66x market share amongst devs

>butthurt, the post
just fucking face it kiddo... every big tech company is almost all macs. Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc etc.. they're all Mac.
>>53579784
I love Macs though. They are wonderful computers with wonderful hardware (throttling notwithstanding). The interpretation of that data is just wrong.
FULL DISCLOSURE I DO USE LINUX BECAUSE I AM POOR HOWEVER I DO ENJOY ITS EASE OF USE FOR PROGRAMMING TASKS OVER OSX AND WINDOWS.
>>53577447
sauce on your gif
OS X or Linux. They both have native ssh support, can both support x forwarding, both have vim, and can run valgrind.
windows is pretty shitty unless you absolutely need visual Studio and don't want to be able to have a decent shell.
I don't hate OSX but I like my linoox with i3wm for programming.
I'm not at ease with windows though and I mostly code in vim.
>>53577447
I prefer program in C#, well I have use windows 8.1 or 10.
>>53578132

Isn't it the same thing? Google tells me so
>>53577447
Falafel.
>>53577447
Unless you're programming for Windows, anything else.
