Speaking of ChromeOS, my most favourite browsing experience was on Windows 8 and its metro UI on an 11.6" tablet.
It was quick, responsive and side by side windows were so intuitive, complete with the gestures and swipes.
An iPad comes close but still falls short. The tablet was way better, but it needs to be 11.6 or larger, I tried it with a 10.1 one and it's not the same. I have no idea why.
I also briefly enjoyed ElementaryOS.
That brought up some forgotten memories of my early hackintoshes.

Windows Phone too yeah had same metro ui and great music quality . Loads of fun.
I still feel in terms of windows my fav was windows xp , simple and light and less junk compared to later windows, would run on 512mb ram motherboards butter smooth . I used to always keep xp dual booted with windows 8 for gaming when my oc wasn't powerful enough. Playing cricket 07 on it was so much fun and early fifas as well before I moved to Playstation.

Now I am reminded of that Gully Cricket game that came with my PS2. It feels weird knowing India has made many games but never anything AAA.

IMO, i dont just get the point of arguing over which OS is the best.
I mean why cant just we accept that each OS has their individual purpose, which they excel at serving ?
Windows at flexibility of work and gaming
Linux at its peak for full control over what's going on
Mac, It just makes you look cool xD

Disagree about mac though , as a tevh enthusiaisy as much as I love Linux and even windows Mac ' just works ' and is best option for let's say ' technologically challenged ' people.
Even then my mac has never hung stuttered or even lapsed on me once compared to windows for example, for example the MacBook i got in 2012 worked for me till 2018 and got most of the needed updates and never stuttered once or lagged.
Even though macOs is locked and not great for tevh enthusiasts to upgrade and play around with , in terms of stability it's the best os.
I do agree though all OS have their purpose it upto you to choose depending on your needs honestly.
Also early macOs had some of the best production softwares which is why content creators always preferred macs.

I use Windows just for gaming and planning to build a new windows Pc Soon.
My daily driver are macOS based device . Macbook Pro and mac mini and a mac Pro
The reason being is simple cannot effort downtime its sable does the work really well. I dont have to worry about patchin drivers. No antivirus software needed on top of it.
With Crossover i can run all the windows application (i.e Putty) on it nativ .
And the battery Life on the m series Mac is just amazing so love it dont even know where the charge for it is there just plug it to dock at work and the whole day it just runs
