My choice of operating system

Since my article The flaws of distro hopping and asking other people about their OS of choice I have had a number of people writing to me asking for my specific advice regarding their choice of operating system, both for personal usage and for business usage. Last night I received yet another email from someone in the US who wrote to me about a difficult situation they where facing in the choice of operating system for their business usage. So I have decided to write a little bit about it. However, this article is not my professional advice. I don't know you and I don't know your situation and as such, I cannot advice you. Rather, this article is about what I do and why I do it. https://unixsheikh.com/articles/my-choice-of-operating-system.html
