Which Amiga OS Is Used Most...

[jj]

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

[Xanxi]

OS 3.1 rules :-)
It only lacks the Reaction GUI and OS 3.5 icons: i really dislike softwares that make use of these, forgetting about OS 3.1.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - there's no reason for an OS3.9 setup to be more bloated than a 3.1 setup. You just have to tweak it a little, just like you do with 3.1 anyways. I run 3.9 on whatever I have, including Minimig where I really have to be carefull about what parts of OS3.9 I use, and revert to 3.5, 3.1 and aminet to fill in the gaps that are not 68000 compatible (like C:Makedir - what on earth could be 020+ optimized in C:Makedir?)

Probably a compiler-generated addressing mode, 32-bit multiplication or something like that.

3.1 and then Classic WB 3.1, 3.9 is like Cammy said, just slower.
I'm looking forward to 4.1 for classic Amiga's.
 
Edit: :laughing:my vote makes it a tie now between 3.1 and 3.9

And do you actually think 4.1 for Classics is going to be faster than any of those?
I have a BlizzardPPC + Bvision and had to go back to 3.9 for better performance when 4.0 for Classics was released.

No, but nothing is for sure untill I have tried it and when some benchmarks pop up.

Good point, lets wait and see.

Just wondering what is the most popular Amiga OS used in the Amiga community, which OS do you use the most...

MorphOS here!

:-)

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?

Not quite sure what you mean !!! :confused:

Although you can use the WB 3.1 disks with 3.0 Roms (be it with a few problems) I tried OS 3.9 a couple of times but gave up and went back to 3.5, to me 3.9 is 3.9 just like 3.1 is 3.1, you really need 3.1 Roms to run them both but if you were using 3.9 you wouldn't say you were using 3.1 just because the roms were 3.1 would you...

Hope you can understand what I mean here (cos I don't... :lol:)
 

Sorry to the MorphOS and Aros folks for leaving them out, just that not being a fan or user of either they kinda slipped my mind...

For me it's 3.9!!!

[danwood]

4.1 on my AmigaOne XE

3.5 on my A1200

2.1 on my A600 (but you left 2.1 off the options )

Seems I left out quite a few options...

Look it was around 6 am when I started the thread, I hadn't had anymore than 3 hours sleep in the past 24 hours, have a bad head cold, a dose of the runs (after too many vindaloo's), it's been peeing down and blowing a gale here for the past few days, my kitchen window had blown open and the squirrels had got in and piddled all over the floor, I'd run out of coffee and my medication had worn off... :insane:

So apologies to everyone who feels left out and to the postman who delivered a package to me this morning, for me being a bit grumpy and ranting on at him like a crazed loon cos the package was soaking wet...

amiga 3.1 cause lost my 3.5 cdrom dammit

OS 3.1 rules :-)

Hmm..OS 3.9 has large hard drive support, TCP stack, email, web browser, Action, updated multiview, updated dataypes, 24 bit printer support,  cd file system and atapi support, built in dock, new icon information with drag an drop icon update, animated scrolling of icons within windows, correct aspect ratio of window's horizontal scroll bar. Probably a fair few other things that aren't visible on the surface.

You could do most of this stuff with 3rd party utilities, but its nice to have it all there for you when you boot.

Having said that I I use a 4 color 3.1 workbench and 3.1 ROM, flies.  Eye candy no longer matters to me.

If you're using a 3.0 ROM with 3.1 I think its its worth getting the 3.1 ROM, seems more stable and screen re-draws seem faster.

It is not the first time you have neglected us and probably won't be the last, but your polls that do not include us have little meaning, since they leave out such a large percentage of the remaining Amiga community.

Also, it is very annoying that you repeat this pattern over and over again, just because of your personal preferences, which IIRC are for Classic Amiga computers only, yet you always seem to remember AmigaOS4.x, which is no more related to the old Classic Amiga hardware than MorphOS2.x is.  In fact, MorphOS has been around for longer than AmigaOS4.x and had a free version for Classic Amiga computers with Phase5 PowerUp boards many years ago (10 I believe is the correct number).

If you are going to create this endless progression of polls here at Amiga.org, please try to make an attempt to include ALL of the members here, or think about moving such exclusive polls to Amigan.net instead.

Edit:  Had I known that this thread was going to turn into an opinion of what members thought was the "Best" Amiga OS, or which Amiga OS does each voter use the most, instead of how it is literally worded "Which Amiga OS is used most?", I would boycot the poll completely, as the "best" Amiga OS IMHO, or the Amiga OS I use the most often, is not listed as one of the choices.  

To me, that question means which Amiga OS is used the most by everyone in the world.  Everyone is free to interpret it any way they like, but it lessens the validity of the result when people are voting with different perceptions of what the poll is asking.  I mean really, how can 15 voters really think that AmigaOS4.1 is used more than the other Classic AmigaOS choices, unless they are thinking that the question is only for each user in their own homes, or which they think is the best Amiga OS for them?

There is enough division of this community from the past, please do not perpetuate it further by excluding half of it from your polls, or insulting us with your personal opinions on what "IS" and "IS NOT" an Amiga OS.
