I used Fedora for a while and I found it good but crappy too. Games don't run well, lots of plug-ins missing and unnecessary crap so I moved away from it. WTF Leo I thought you said you wanted Windows.

Occasionally playing TMW.
Running Windows 8.1 Pro, OS X Mavericks and Ubuntu 13.10
There is a rule when it comes to windows versions: Only every second one is usable.
Windows 3.1: crap
Windows 3.11: standard for years
Windows 95: Big revolution but too revolutionary, lots of annoying quirks.
Windows 98: Fixed the quirks in 95.
Windows ME: An unstable catastrophe.
Windows XP: First criticized but later embraced, especially after the release of...
Windows Vista: a commercial disaster for MS.
Windows 7: The real successor for Windows XP which learned a lot from the errors of Vista.
(the server versions NT, 2000 and 2003 are leaved out intentionally here).

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.
You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

My favorite OS all-time was PCLinux2007, it worked never crashed and had full media support at install.
However, it had a bad package manager set-up,(synaptic), which did not allow installing git without destroying nearly every program I used.
PCLinux2007 also was not recommended to compile on.
So I installed Debian Lenny,(stable)...no idea why they call it stable. it is not stable, however It only crashes 1 or 2x a day.
Usually when running gimp. still its pretty good as it loses no data even when I have to unplug box to reboot.
The current, general trend by both KDE and Gnome to use every resource available to create a non-intuitive GUI, virtual assures the success of
new alternative Linux desktop environments.
This seems to be a pervasive trend in open source development period, the gimp gui illustrates this.
so atm I have no favorite OS... I may give win7 a go, or Suse.
