3.1 here, with some carefully picked add-ons which make it more functional than 3.9 and yet faster. 3.9 is a piece of bloatware in my opinion, the closest thing to Windows to be found on an Amiga :)

WOW... the first person I've found that thinks the same about OS 3.9 as I do... :)

Cheers... Made my day that has... :)

I pretty much use them all from 3.1 upwards at the moment. Currently, I'm using 4.1 most, but it's not a statistically accurate reflection of my usage.

I use 2.04 on my A600. But 99% of the time I use MorphOS, but neither that nor AROS were on the poll.

Sorry but I'm in the habit of calling OS 3.0 & OS 3.1 the same thing as kickstart... :)

Reckon myself 3.0 will lead the way as a lot of folk never got round to upgrading the ROMS to 3.1... :)


Hmm... I am flabbergasted. If you treat Kickstart as the same thing as OS 3.0 & OS 3.1, then what option should you choose having ROM 3.1 and running OS 3.9 on it?

Well, AFAIK ROM 3.1 is patched during boot and it's seen by the system as Kickstart 3.9.

But what system are you using? Kickstart 3.9 or AmigaOS 3.9? I think the question was about the operational system. So the issue raised by Heiroglyph about 3.0 Kickstart and 3.1 Workbench option is clear that you can't mix them. OS 3.1 is OS 3.1 and it does not matter if it is on patched or non-patched ROM 3.0 or 3.1.

Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, noticed that. Perhaps the poll should have been entitled "Which version of AmigaOS do you use the most?" since that's what it appears to be asking. As it stands, I'm sure it's excluding a decent wedge of users here.

The 3.0/3.1 thing was just a joke.

For years that's what I saw 99% of time on AGA systems.  The ROM's were scarce but 3.1 would run with them, so people used it that way.

I'd still call it 3.1.

I use 3.9 with BoingBags 1, 2, 3 , and 4. Then added some OS4.0 68k leftovers, and have made a lot of customizations and upgrades to make it even more usable.

3.9 with some patches. hate the icons though. actually pure look and content of 3.1 suits me best and is installed on other machines. just dont use them as frequently.

No other choice, or AROS or MorhpOS options.
 
I use MorphOS the most
