Yep, just a general question. Was mostly just playing with polls and the only thing I could think of 😁

@taylan
No, it isn't!
On Fedi it's most often Alpine and that doesn't use GNU userspace 😜

@taylan
I have a Pleroma instance running on a 32-bit PowerPC machine (old Mac Mini) running musl flavour of Void — which uses very few GNU userspace. But in any case, my post was a joke — I presume, same as yours 😁
@bob

@bob Hate to be that pedantic guy, but Windows is an OS, not Microsoft. Also, it's macOS, non Mac.

@arialdo I love to be pedantic, so Linux is not an OS, but a kernel, the OS is GNU. @bob

@taylan
Well, in this case you're absolutely right 😆
It'd be either Arch or flavours of Ubuntu, depending on in which parts of Fedi the poll gets more boosts, and, I've never used Arch myself, but they don't appear too different — same glibc, gnu userspace and even the systemd, package manager being the only major difference. Oh, and one has a reputation of being more user-friendly and the other being for advanced users, both are debatable — but that's it.
@bob

@bob I *prefer* Linux but *use* Windows.

@bob FreeBSD, but I'll use Linux sometimes too.

@bob@beamship.mpaq.org

Microsoft is an Operating system?
Then I prefer Xenix.

62 fo linux, 29 for mac, 9 for windows ...hmm, guessed the last to be first-raked but maybe android be non-windows but mobile in use, so the other two's tops them?

@Hyolobrika

Except for it going viral 😂
