What OS do scientists use?
Windows.
whatever works
Most of my colleagues use osx, I have seen a couple running Ubuntu but this is just their personal machine I'm talking about.
Well obviously it depends on the field. Doing CS (inb4 meme), I mostly see GNU/Linux and Mac OS.

CentOS. Seriously.

This
>>53584734
Scientific Linux
usually mac OS for coding and windows for experimental stuff since that has the largest support for daq device drivers.

This.
Usually as a client connecting to a big Linux/UNIX computer.
Windows or osx. Go to any large conference and it's 50% macbooks, 25% business class laptops and 25% random craptops.
Linux only as a backend or in very rare cases.
That said: I run Windows on my university issued desktop and fedora on my private thinkpad.
All over tha place at my university. Mostly Linux/UNIX backend, some Windows clients, some OSX clients, some Linux clients.

Surprise surprise, journalists and reporters use macbooks.
Who could've thunk it.

Whatever the fuck they want.

Which area of science?
This is like asking what tool does a tradesman use.
I work in physics and HPC: most people here use some variant of Linux or OSX to SSH into the real machines that do the heavy lifting. They themselves exclusively run some variant of Linux.
Linux in the streets
OSX between the sheets
CentOS or Scientific Linux or whatever the fuck they like
I have a science degree do I count?
I use Windows on my desktop
I use OSX on my macbook
I use Pleb-buntu on my server
And so I use whatever is best for the task at hand like any normal person would do

>I have a science degree do I count?
Yes, as long as it's not computer science.
I would love to use linux, but the cucks before me decided to use a clusterfuck of VB6, VBA and VB 2008, so its Windows for me.

You need a PhD to prove your intelligence.
PhD here.
>>Windows PC at home
>>Macbook Pro everywhere
>>Linux Desktop at the office
