What other OS have you used in the past (not windows)?

[Carl Lawrence]

Hello guys,

What other operating systems have you used in the past?

I have tried several Linux versions in the past, but did not use them that much.

Well, 25 years ago:shock: I did a little bit with an Apple IIe computer in middle school(grade 7 and 8) and somewhere around that time we had a Commodore Vic-20 at home that was slightly modded by my uncle. But other than that, only Microsoft in my history.

I had Linux for a day then got rid of it lol.

I have used about a dozen different operating systems - but all on large systems. E.g DOS/370, MVS/370 etc. On PC's only Vista and Windows7.

I did try OS2 at one time but I cannot even remember much about that now

You are missing out then! Linux Mint is quite a nice OS. It works with everything right out of the box.

I've used Windows 98, XP, Vista, 7. Used Snow Leopard for a day when I was at a friends house, if that counts.
Used Ubuntu, Damn Small Linux, and Dreamlinux. I've tried Mint and Fedora, didn't take to them very well. Though I will never say that I'ma pro at it, with all of the problems I've had with Linux. XD

Too many to remember them all. Used VM and MVS on IBM Mainframes. Started out with DOS 2.1 on PCs, then used DOS 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x. Used OS/2 1.x, 2.x, 3.x, 4.x. Used Win 1.0, 3.1, WFW 3.11, Win 95, Win 98, Win98SE, Win NT, Win 2000, Win XP, Win 2003 Server, SCO Unix, AIX and Solaris, Fedora, Ubuntu and Puppy Linux, AS400 OS, Amiga OS, Mac OS X and then I used Win 7!

A few that I used very little are Win ME, Win Vista and TRS-DOS.

In the room I'm sitting in at my house, I have machines that can boot the following OSes: TRS-DOS, MS DOS 3.3 & 6.22, Win XP, Win 7 (32 & 64 bit), Ubuntu 9.1 & 10.04, Puppy 4.3.1, & Win 98SE.

15-20 years ago I used Atari TOS and Commodore BASIC 7.0.
I have used Linux Red Hat, but right now I use XP and Win7.

I didn't really have the time to learn Linux, but I might start again someday in future.

Tried a bunch, but OS/2 Warp I thought was superior for it's day.

 

[Darician]

In school, for years I used System 7 and Mac OS 8, 9, and X (10.2, 10.3, and 10.4). It worked well for the design stuff we had to do but I found it a bit unintuitive compared to the Windows PC I had at home. Although it seemed sleeker in the XP era, once Vista rolled around, that ended for me.

 

[AvatarOfTheShip]

Years ago I tried installing Warp 3 point something but, however rigorously I followed the instructions I just couldn't get the ******* to install. I was very keen to try it as it was much more advanced than Windows at the time, but despite bending over backwards i just couldn't make it work.

 

[ForeverZero89]

most versions of DOS and of course, windows.
