Title: Multiple OS users
Post by: amigadave on October 28, 2011, 06:06:54 AM
How many of us Amiga.org users currently have more than one OS that we use on a regular basis?

I'll start by listing all the OSes I use at least once a week.

AmigaOS1.3 to 3.9
MorphOS2.7 & 3.0 beta
MacOSX 10.5.8
Windows Vista Ultimate

and occasionally,

Linux Ubuntu 10.10 PPC

Well... I use AmigaOS 4.1.3, MorphOS 2.7 and Linux Debian Squeeze on my Peg II...Windows 7 Ultimate on the PC and MacOS 10.x under Linux/MOL on the Peggy... latter just for curiosity, dont use it much really...
 
Cheers,

MorphOS 2/3 and Windows XP here. I am also using AmigaOS 1.3 to play games occasionally but my AmigaOS machine has been sitting unused couple of months now.

My main used computer is my Amithlon/OS3.9 machine. I love OS3.x, the d.i.y. nature of it and the tens o thousands of apps, commodities, etc. available to customise your system and know it inside out. For all thier advantages none of the NG options come close in volume and/or quality(minus a few exceptions) of software. Coupled with more raw grunt (besides aros) than any of the NG options and Im a happy man.

My A1200 is probably neyxt in line. For similar reasons to why Im so fond of my amithlon box, but the other side of the coin. Seeing what results can be obtained from such (comparitively) limited resources is a lot of fun. Not to mention years and years of commercially developed software that runs better than on any emullator (when custom chipsets are involved) and the 68k Amigas have lost little of thier charm.

Next inline is AROS. Put simply no NG system can compete when it comes to things like 3d gaming, watching videos, etc. If it needs raw grunt AROS is my choice.

Next in line is MOS. The most polished of the Amiga based systems, and quite impressive in it's own right, but for me these things actually contribute to why (besides os4) I have the least interest in it for amiga based systems. A ready to go system loses some of its charm for me. Give me a tiny base to work from that I can build my own system around instead anyday, and despite being quite efficient for the hardware its running on (for me a 1.42ghz mac mini) it simply cant compete with my AROS box (core2duo@4.1ghz/gf 9600gt) for gaming or video. This is all for my tastes/needs, Im not disputing that MOS is a nice system, so those inclined please refrain from the usual typical outrage.

And last but not least I have a Windows box/multimedia system in the lounge, connected to my t.v that controls my entertainment system. Core i7-2600k + gf570gtx. No system comes close to Windows for gaming and media centric stuff, so to use it as a host to my media centre was a no brainer. I also use this machine to browse via a virtual machine with windows installed (I'll be damned if Im letting the main install get corrupted by going online with it).

I've been using Windows XP for daily-use computing since 2004, and 95-Me before that. However, as Windows increasingly goes in directions I'm not interested in (I didn't like the changes from XP to Vista, 7 didn't address them, and 8 looks like everything I despise in modern computing conveniently packaged into one bundle of ultra-hateability,) I've decided that I'm not going to be using it anymore. (Though I will be maintaining an XP box for my music endeavours, I think.)

Which means that this time when I say I'm getting into Linux I really, really mean it. I've currently got Debian running on my Power Mac G5, and I'm going to be using it as the main OS on my new PowerBook G4, which will replace my Asus Eee as my main machine once I've got all my documents migrated.

I don't care for OSX all that much, but I do have it on my Power Mac G4, and it will be on the PowerBook as well, for running Classic applications and Photoshop.

And of course I'm running Workbench (3.9 currently, though I'm looking at downgrading to 3.1 with ClassicWB) on my A3000 ;)

Linux (desktop), Linux (media centre), Linux (Netbook), OS3.1 (A1200).

I do use Windows in work - but I didn't include this.

I'd love to list AROS too but I haven't yet found it stable enough for daily use.

I use Windows7 and AmigaOS 3.9

I have a machine capable of running AmigaOS4 but this A4000T is not capable of running itself at the moment. (still I bought AmigaOS4 which I could never install. It'll probably never enter a CDROM drive since OS4.1 is out :) )

I try to stay away from Windows when I'm at home - I get quite enough of it at work, but I do have an XP machine for photography work, iTunes and the occasional game. For other home stuff I use my Linux box, and mostly for fun I use OS4.1 on my A1-XE. For portability I use OSX 10.4 on an iBook G4 and Lubuntu 11:04 on a cheap PC laptop, depending on my mood :) I didn't pick OS 3 - I use it from time to time but since I got OS4 it's been relegated to the odd game of SWOS. I also have AROS and Haiku installed on one of my PCs, but neither really feels complete enough to use regularly.
Title: Re: Multiple OS users
Post by: zylesea on October 28, 2011, 08:18:28 PM
MorphOS 2.x most of the time (above 90%). Then Windows. Rarely OS X and Linux. Sometimes MorphOS 1.4.5. Accasionally OS3.9 on UAE. A few years ago I also enjoyed QNX, but currently have no installation of that.
Of course also quite some Symbian S60 since it drives my mobile.
Title: Re: Multiple OS users
Post by: Duce on October 28, 2011, 08:54:51 PM
Windows primarily, with smatterings of OS X on my work laptop, iOS on my light, portable devices, and OS 4.1/UAE for fun when I am not working.

I'd love to use the Amiga OS variants more day to day, but sadly the browser options simply do not handle stuff like Google Docs well, which I rely a lot on for work work co-ordinations and job details.

Android is Unix as AmigaOS is TripOS if you want to get anal. And yes, for a device with a 20-ish button keypad which main function is to place telephone calls Symbian still rocks.

MorphOS 2.7 as my primary OS (with copies of OSX and Ubuntu on the same system). Can't wait to see version 3.0 (Powerbook, and improved SATA and SCSI support).
 
Windows XP and Vista (which is really underated) on two other home computers.
 
Hoping to encourage others using legacy hardware to consider PPC OS'.
 
I may, at some point, reconsider AROS.

I primarily use Mac OS X, and occasionally I have to use Windows 7 and sometimes linux.

On the phone front, iOS and Android - my personal phone is Android but I have to program for iOS as well.

I was able to give up using hp/ux about 3 years ago, and I haven't used an Amiga to accomplish a real task in about 14 years.  I remember approximately the time that I gave up using it - because I needed to sort a list of successfully polled stores for a fortune 500 company, and I wrote a little program in amiga ace basic - I used the sorting program for a while, and then eventually rewrote it in tcl/tk and ran it on a pc instead.

After that I've occasionally either, turned on an amiga 1200, or evaluated a pegasos board, or installed a copy of aros - but no, never again completed an actual task with an amiga.

The mac is cool.  I'm happy with it - I'm also happy lurking around the amiga forums year after year - the X1000 xorro thing isn't compelling to me, but they have the right idea - do *something* unique...do the same with the OS, do something we can hook to and say we needed an amiga to do that...whatever it might be, integrate sql into the os -nobody else has done that, not really....do something.

or don't, either way.... :)

Next week sometime i will also be using MOS. But my main is Ubuntu which i use about 85% of the time.

Once I get the last few kinks ironed out and my files transferred, I'll be bidding farewell to Windows (except for an XP box I'm keeping around for VSTs/audio editing.)

I might give MorphOS a shot when it runs on this, we'll see.

I don't know how many years I have read your posts repeating this phobia toward inanimate electrical devices that were at one time associated with the Apple company.

Have you considered getting some psychological treatment to overcome your fear, or irrational hatred of these electrical devices?  :roflmao:

Surely it can't have anything to do with you thinking that by purchasing a 5 or 10 year old piece of used computer hardware you would be contributing to, or benefiting the manufacturer that you hate so much?

Also, as long as I practice good personal hygiene, none of my computers become "slimy".  Do yours?

Edit:  Apple makes the finest quality G4 computers that were mass marketed on the planet.  Your feeble attempts to discredit them are sad little moans that are not based on any technical merit or reasoning.  Your constant posting of your emotional feelings about using anything associated with Apple does not inspire confidence in your technical opinions or knowledge.  Other than that you seem to be an okay guy most of the time.

I always regretted that the partnership between Amiga and QNX did not survive and flourish.  I think it could have been a good partnership and we might have gotten a better official Next Gen AmigaOS sooner if that partnership had lasted.  The failed partnership with QNX is just one more missed opportunity in the long and sad Amiga history.

You don't see to many people that use QNX posting about it on Amiga forum sites.  Do you have any idea how large, or small the QNX for desktop user base is and what the number of developers writing software for it might be?

I use Windows Xp Pro mostly on 4 different laptops--3 Thinkpads and one Sony Vaio. I have OS 3.1 on both my Amigas. I had OS 3.9 on my A4000 but the disk crashed and I haven't had time to reinstall it. I use TOS 2.6 on my Atari Mega ST and Mega STE. I also have an older Thinkpad that is just about as vintage as my Amigas--1998--and it multiboots MSDOS, several versions of Windows, Linux and OS/2. I only really use DOS and Windows 2000 on this laptop. DOS for such things as my eprom burner and Parcp to transfer files from my Mega ST and a few other programs I use occasionally that require MSDOS and won't work in Windows. My Amigas also multiboot but not different OSes, different graphic systems. My A2500 multiboots EGS, Picasso 96 and Cybergraphics on it's EGS spectrum card and my A4000 multiboots Picasso 96 and Cybergraphics on a Picasso II.

I also have a a Nokia phone with Symbian but the OS is really irrelevant, the only thing I use it for is Skype via wifi.

I just bought an Ibook G4 with a broken LCD and the new LCD will arrive next week so I will have some version of OSX for a while but my relationships with Macs never last. Usually, one of my friends or associates wants it more than I do and I end up selling it. I've already been asked about this one and I haven't even fixed the LCD or tested it to see if anything else is wrong with it.

Oh, and I should mention Palm OS. I have 3 Palm Pilots in my collection with 3 different versions of Palm OS from 4.1 to Garnet

I do like what Haiku looks to be, just wish they hadn't abandoned the PPC port :/

I use AmigaOS3.9 occasionally on my A4000T.

I use AmigaOS3.9 quite regularly via WinUAE on my netbook when I'm not at home. (Hopefully next year I can replace it with a AmigaOS4 netbook:))

I use AmigaOS4.1 quite regularly on my Sam460ex when I am at home.

I, unfortunately, use Windows XP when I'm at work.
Also, I have Windows 7 running on the family PCs in my house (the PCs that the wife and kids use).

AmigaOS 1.2, 1.3 and 3.1.

Tiger, Lion and iOS5 on my Mac Stuff.

Windoze XP unfortunately at work. I abhor using that system so much that I bought M$ Office for the Mac just so I could bring some of my work home.  ;)

Was using MorphOS for a bit, but aborted the novelty after a while. That said, anyone looking for a stock 1.25ghz Mac Mini with MorphOS registered?

Why does it start with 1.3 instead of 1.2 or even 1.0? If you donĀ“t own a harddrive, 1.2 is perfectly fine. You may add some 1.3 sugar by using ARP or even set it to "2.0 like overdrive" with Daves Jazzbench. I ran this combination for a while and skipped the 1.3 Kickstart altogether, before becoming one of the early adopters of KS 2.04.

AmigaOS 3.1 and 3.9 (on my classic machine about once a month, maybe less these day this is mainly due to...)

AmigaOS 1.3 to 3.9 (emulation thanks to Amiga Forever 2012 about once a week for a quick gaming or mess around with various programs, currently trying to get back into making games.)

Aros AspireOS (Only had it for about a month, played with it on and off need more time to really set it up how I like my amiga to really get into it.)

Windows 7 (I have to say is my main machine, sorry :(, i have to say though Win7 is the best MS OS I have used, why it took them this long to make a good solid OS I will never know.)

Windows XP (now and again for odd old software that wont run in Win7 or not bothered to setup in win7. both on the same machine)

Ubuntu (mainly on my Acer Aspire but I might try using Aros more on it and i do have it on my PC for when i was stick of XP and did'nt even try Vista.)

Hopeful soon AmigaOS4 which will cut my time I have to use Win7.
