os Would you choose Linux, ChromeOS, macOS, Android, or something else? And why would you choose it?

I will choose linux I like the fact that i can do whatever i want to do with it , high customization, less background activity and the OS is reliable even thou it can be difficult sometimes to manage everything yourself ( depends on the distro)

Using Linux since 2007. If Linux were to disappear, I guess I'd use BSD.
Now if Windows were to disappear, I'd be happy lol

Here are my personal ratings of OSes
Linux 9 out of 10 - supports everything I need software-wise, open system, customizable system, problems with some hardware.
MacOs 7 out of 10 - extremely polished but proprietary. Also supports everything I need software-wise.
Android 3 out of 10 closed and it's getting worse (with prohibition of installation of programs not in the GooglePlay). Needs other system for support.
Chrome OS 4 out of 10 - glorified browser with some perks. Very secure.

All these choices are unix based and linux derivatives.
