For personal use, you need an operating system that is simple, easy to navigate, and secure. Two great options for personal use operating systems are MAC and Windows. MAC is ideal for people who use iPhones and other Apple products while Windows is suitable for all.

If you want to have a smooth gaming experience, the Windows Pro version might just be the best for you while Ubuntu or other Linux-based operating systems are ideal for software developers, entrepreneurs, and large organizations.
