The operating system you choose/use provides your computing environment. While most people only know about Microsoft [[Windows]], or Apple's [[OSX]], there are a great number of alternative operating systems which are not only better in terms of the stability, features and performance; they are also freely licensed. The most popular freely licensed system in the world today is the [[Android]] operating system used by Google on it's mobile devices. For desktop and server platforms, it's Canonical's [[Ubuntu]].

There are continually new options. The 'NixOS' offers a linux-based system that is more for the development operations crowd. https://nixos.org/nixos/about.html
