It makes sense that you're unsure—choosing an operating system can be tricky. Since you've never built a PC before, starting with something user-friendly is a good idea.

Are there any apps that work exclusively on Windows? You can download Windows 10 if needed. Otherwise, enjoy whatever you're doing!

You're wondering why you should stick with Linux if your games and programs run smoothly there. If you're just starting out or prefer Windows, it's perfectly fine to choose that platform.

Ubuntu is commonly available and usually functions well for most tasks, though performance varies based on your specific needs.

Windows is suggested for beginners who wish to play games and handle simple daily tasks. Linux offers a more challenging experience requiring significant study. Windows 10 is reliable, yet Windows 11 appears quite similar. I recommend choosing one based on your familiarity (and likely more experience with Windows 10 than the newest Windows 11).

It really depends on your requirements. For gaming, go with Windows. If you plan to use any popular applications later, choose Windows or Mac. If you're not sure, Linux might not be the right choice for you.

There are several options available to choose from. The top three are Windows, MacOS, and GNU/Linux. Other systems include FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and React OS. If you only need basic functions like word processing and web browsing, any operating system should suffice. For building a personal computer, it's usually best to pick either Windows or GNU/Linux. While other BSD variants exist, they offer limited hardware support and can be tricky to install. Anything else is likely not suited as your main system unless you're comfortable with custom setups. If gaming or anti-cheat software is important, Windows remains the top choice. Steam-based alternatives are fine outside of that. For creative work such as photo or video editing, Windows is the only practical option. GNU/Linux has suitable tools but is better for casual use; for professional tasks, Windows is preferable. MacOS is an alternative if you prefer its interface, with Ubuntu, Pop_OS, or Elementary OS being good options. If you're new to GNU/Linux, consider beginner-friendly distros like Linux Mint or Zorin OS. These resemble Windows desktops. If you want the MacOS feel, Ubuntu, Pop_OS, or Elementary OS are excellent. Hope this helps!

Windows 10 works well and is easy to use. If you don’t mind gaming or are willing to spend a lot on a computer, choose a Mac. Avoid Linux unless you have prior experience and troubleshooting skills.
