I use every OS, and every OS sucks.

Joke's on you buddy, my OS blows!

Well, my OS defies the laws of physics, it both sucks and blows simultaneously.

Mine recirculates in a regenerative suck and blow, conserving energy.

For the record, here is the canonical list of operating systems which suck. [cat-v.org] If you think some newer Windows, Apple OS, GNU, etc. doesn't suck, please look under "Windows NT", "BSD" or "Mach", as the case may be.

Linux sucks differently every time a kernel is released.
That is pretty close to the truth. For instance - every time I attempt to load the 4.2 kernel, I have a kernel panic. I'm fine with every version of 4.1 I've found, but 4.2 seems not to like my hardware. Fek!

But nothing sucks like a Vax [vax.co.uk]!
I'm going to go out on a limb and you run neither Ultrix or VMS. That means your suckage is not maximized!

I never used a Vax, but JCL would probably give it a run for its money. [wikipedia.org]

If you use windows, is it both dead AND alive?
(and yes, i didn't google to check the spelling of Schroedinger, or bother with umlauts, whatever. Excuuuuse me!) :)

C'mon, don't be a party pooper. You should've blamed your OS for the lack of umlauts.

I've been forced to use both AIX and Windows at employers. There is terrible, there is horrible, there is OMFG!, and then there are Windows and AIX.
It is all relative. After those experiences, what warts even HP/UX has seem minor. And, Linux, and (in spite of Oracle) Solaris are close to nirvana-- and yeah, things about both suck.

Indeed. A better poll question for us would be "how many OSes do you use" or "have you used?"
But which one sucks? Yes, all of them, at least the ones I've used (I've by no means used every OS ever developed. I'm surprised that you have a working Babbage machine to test Lady Lovelace's programs).
Some suck worse than others, and some suck for completely different reasons. But don't forget the guy who used to be Ed Waldo, [mcgrewbooks.com] who said "90% of everything is crud."
