So, which one is it (it doesn't need to be on the list)?

ubuntu and os x, if you have to ask.
although it's a rather silly question. largely, everybody just uses whatever the fuck they prefer - ubuntu, debian, fedora, arch, windows, os x. nobody uses these shitty mobile ones though, iOS, android, Chrome.

The list is shit.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

That would be Debian. It has a very professional look and is an excellent compromise between ease of use and efficiency (although I prefer Gentoo).
Tails, for anonymity.
Arch for sure

If you're in Engineering, probably Windows. A lot of cad stuff like Solidworks is only available on Windows.
If you're a CS student, you probably use Mac because literally everyone in the cs program at my school has a macbook.
I've only met one person at my school who uses a Linux distro, he was a math major. He used Arch, but then switched to Ubuntu because games. He was also a fat neckbeard. Not even making fun of him, I use Ubuntu myself.
It really depends on what field of STEM you're in. Reason I use Ubuntu is because I want to work on embedded systems and hardware when I graduate and all the job postings I see for embedded systems engineers ask for competence in Linux/GCC.

How many times will you post this before you feel better? Everybody who actually gives a shit already knows this.
