Windows should be better then, if what you say is correct about version 8.1.
OSX has always been okay in my book. It operates smoothly and there's never
really any issues with it. I just won't spend the money on Apple products when
I can get or build something cheaper with the same amount of horsepower. :)
If I were to choose anything Gnome/Ubuntu related, it would definitely be Mint.
I've just never really gotten used to apt-get since I've always been around
portage, ports, or pacman. Probably why I don't use Debian based distros.
