Windows vs Linux vs macOS: The Best OS According to ChatGPT

I asked ChatGPT to resolve the age-old dilemma - Which is better - Windows, Linux or macOS?
After a lot of back and forth, the chatbot identified six main pillars of an operating system, assigned a best option for each of the pillars, acknowledged that a score list based on its own assessment could be created, and finally confirmed a clear winner under the set circumstances.

As a linux user: I approve this conclusion

[AlanDike]

I'd argue the pillars are accurate, but each person/user weights the pillars differently

And chat GPT runs on linux servers and is probably trained by linux servers

As a software developer, I use Linux (Kubuntu) as my daily driver. I used to use Windows and I didn't switch out of a dislike for Windows. I switch because it was easier to develop on the same operating system I am deploying to. However, I find that it I struggle less with Linux, it just doesn't get in the way and my workflow is improved.

As a Long time on/off Linux user since the mid 90's who was finally able to make the full switch only just a few years back after it got good AMD GPU support for gaming, and a few other things(Windows 10, and it's BS was also a big push for me to make the switch) I'm truly glad to see how far it's come, to where so many people outside of the server/mainframe/workstation space no longer see it as a hobbyist OS, but as one that can be daily driven for just about any task. My 2nd OS on my phones, and tablets, is Android, so I'm very interested to see which one the AI chose. 👍

The problem with using a language model AI like GPT is that it's really based off of scraped data from the Internet.

It's not really so much an AI coming up with a genuine opinion, but just a machine trying to predict the next word based on the context or the prompt it was given.

What ChatGPT says isn't cold and calculating, but subject to the opinions of real people it was fed data from.

Therefore we can't rely on chatgpt to give us any interesting or unique answers, it's all regurgitations of things previously said.

Ubuntu has set me free in ways I never thought I'd want.

Now I can customize my system how I like, know exactly what is on my system, and never will I have to worry about my system being bugged by the company that made it*. I'd like to see Microsoft let me change up my copy of Windows.

*Canonical may ask for some anonymous data to refine Ubuntu, but they always ask, and even then, this is exclusively an Ubuntu thing.

[WolfiiDog]

Even if you only count the pillars on which macOS and Windows have won, I think Linux is still the winner.

In the last few years, Linux desktop environments have come a long way, I consider Gnome and KDE Plasma to be way better than Windows and macOS.

For hardware compatibility, Windows still wins when it comes to some very specific proprietary tools. But overall, from my personal experience, Linux has been a more hassle-free experience than Windows, most things just work (under the Ubuntu base at least, I haven't used many distros outside of it, like arch or fedora)

This would never hold up in court this is absolutely leading the witness....

[HNBGamer]

I bet ChatGPT would give "Windows Phone" as the answer for that question at the end
Just a joke, I think ChatGPT would also give the "depends on each person" like the Windows vs Linux one originally

[lucky_lol]

Btw if you say 'Answer in one word' and really convince chat gpt, it does give the answers, predictions, preferences which it deny in previous conversations.

[workdowg]

I really don't mind waiting for these videos. Always thought provoking.

[sjoervanderploeg]

If ChatGPT agrees with my choice, I'm golden right :)

Although the general belief that OS X has a better user interface is VERY debatable, I for one do not agree with this at all.

Gaming? Windows. Graphic & Video Editing? MacOS. Everything else? Linux! 💕

[smolbirb]

The way I see it in terms of pillers is:
If you use computer you should use
Linux
And that’s about it, I have never heard a good reason to ever use a proprietary operating system, especially objective spy-ware like windows and Mac

Destroying chat gpt with facts and logic

[owolo]

love the video, even tho it's short, but it's still good and well made)

[I.____.....__...__]

Yeah, it's designed to be as agnostic as possible. Even when it gives "definitive" answers, it couches them in plenty of plausible-deniability rhetoric like "your mileage may vary", "do your own research", "this is just my opinion" and so on; it's trying hard to avoid making any specific claims to avoid legal ramifications. Even Bing's Sydney, which is specifically designed as a marketing and advertising tool that hypes up positives and downplay criticisms of products to push sales does this.

3:02 "MacOS entered the chat" - The one time that meme-y phrase is literal. 😂

I'm surprised ChatGPT didn't mention _weighted-scoring, _ for example, maybe compatibility is far more important to someone than any of the other pillars (eg an industrial setting using an air-gapped system connected to an ancient machine that uses a 16-bit DOS/Windows program to control it) or someone else might care about security above all else (government systems). It just lazily repeated "ymmv".

6:47 So basically, it can be guided to say whatever you want. Gee, that's just great, people deeefinitely won't abuse this to get get AI to do whatever they want and pretend it's fact. 🤦

When comparing quality, like you did, price should never be a factor.
If one compares value, then what you did was fine.

I strongly disagree with the opinion that Windows has a user friendly UI. It's simply the one most are used to. I liked **every** Linux Desktop Environment that I tried more.

MacOS' UI is beautiful but the UX can be terrible. I hate the window management. But I agree: For media editing a Mac is the best.

Windows is good for two areas: Gaming and Office 365 including Exchange an Active Directory for admins.
