Dude you are on HN no Reddit, most people around here use Linux

I wished I believed this, but it feels closer to 50% Apple, 35% Windows, 15% Linux.
You also need to define "use".

No one or almost no one specifies whether they use $OS at work or for their own stuff, or whether the work $OS is mandatory for the organization.

And at home... the IT HNer probably has everything. I'd bet everyone who says they use Mac OS on the desktop also has Linux boxes.

Guilty.

It's probably more like 85% Apple, 10% Linux, 5% Windows.
Considering Apple's always-low market share worldwide on desktop and mobile, I find those ratios hard to believe, even on a niche website like HN.
We could do with a poll.
