Windows 11. It came with a license, I'm depending on the Adobe Suite and several productivity tools that run trouble free on a Windows machine. My instance has been cleaned up by Windows 10 Debloater and Shutup10. I feel like I need to make excuses for using Windows but when it's set up properly, it is very familiar and intuitive. Plus, whenever you get new equipment or need a niche plugin, you can count on it that they'll have a well maintained Windows application.
Oh you sweet summer child you. I wish I could get new equipment (at work) that actually worked with Windows 10 and wasn't designed and forgotten about on Windows NT4.0 :P
Industrial and Scientific computing seems to think OSs are never patched or something. Actually, some of them don't even understand how they sell or license the software they require to run their hardware. I don't know why they stay in business.
