The Best Operating Systems For PC Gaming 2017
The Best Operating Systems For PC Gaming 2017
Here’s a list of the top operating systems for PC gaming
The last few years have seen a decline in the sales and market share of laptops since the arrival of smartphones, tablets and phablets. However, there are still people who look for heavy-duty laptops for gaming purpose. As a result, companies too have been launching powerful gaming laptops periodically keeping the requirement of the gamers in mind. There are several high-end gaming laptops available in the market from companies like HP, Dell, Asus and more.
Besides having a high-end gaming laptop, it is also necessary to have a powerful operating system that can power your device and influence the experience in playing video games on the laptop.
In this article, we bring to you the best operating systems for PC gaming and experience. Let’s start the list of the best gaming operating systems in order of the best to the worst.
Windows 10
Windows 10, the latest operating system from Microsoft is not a let-down when it comes to gaming. Windows 10 is highly optimized and efficient and brings with it new features that is focused on the Xbox app and games bar. Today, you can unify your gaming experience between the Xbox One console and PC games. You can even stream games from your console to your PC. Additionally, it also includes DirectX 12, which is the latest version of Microsoft’s very popular platform for powering games.
The above new features that are designed to make your gaming experience much better along with the fact that Windows 10 will continue to receive regular updates in the future makes it the best OS to use on your PC gaming laptop. You will future proof your laptop as Microsoft will continue to update this software for years to come.
Windows 7
Windows 7 has undoubtedly been Microsoft’s most popular operating system till date because of its rock solid and quick performance, stability and efficiency. Also, with the inclusion of the latest DirectX software, it became the go to version of Windows for gamers, as Microsoft enabled it to run the latest software including the latest versions of DirectX. Its customization feature allowed the users to make changes to the settings that let the users to get most out of their performance. It also made it more attractive to gamers as they updated their systems with the latest hardware.
With the introduction of Windows 10, it has lost its dominance to the worthy successor. But, Windows 7 is still used by many of the gamers for their gaming laptops and desktops. In 2020, Microsoft will be withdrawing support for Windows 7, which means you have time till then to update to Windows 10.
Windows 8
Windows 8 failed to get the same recognition, widespread adoption and support as its counterparts, Windows 7 and Windows 10 have got. Since Windows 8 is not resource heavy, this helps it translated into faster loading times and better performance compared to Windows 7. Although its interface may be bad, it actually does a pretty good job in running games. Also, Windows 8 is expected to receive continued support for several years, which means that several game makers will continue to release games compatible with Windows 8. Basically, if you don’t want to upgrade to Windows 10 and if you have the right hardware on your laptop, Windows 8 should do a great job at running all of your favorite PC games.
macOS
Macs are always considered rubbish for gaming. However, since Macs started to use the same Intel processors as Windows PCs, the Mac gaming scene has really picked up. The Mac machines today include good graphics cards and plenty of memory. While macOS is a sturdy and efficient operating system, there just aren’t as many games made for the platform. Of late, one can see games released for both the PC and the Mac; however, games released for Mac are often released months or even years after their PC counterparts. If you are looking to use the most popular and very best games, then Windows should be the best choice.
Linux
By far, Linux is the worst operating system to play games on your PC, as it does not have much support from gaming developers. While Steam has an entire section devoted to games for the Linux platform, you will not be able to find many games basically made for the Linux platform. in terms of presence, Linux is very low especially on home machines. In spite of this, there are methods of running PC games using software such as WINE on Linux platforms. While it may not give the best gaming experience, but those who love the security and freedom of Linux can find ways to run some of your favorite games.

Examples include searching for installed software and determine possible configuration flaws. Lynis goes further and does also test individual software components, checks related configuration files and measures performance. After these tests, a scan report will be displayed with all discovered findings.
Typical use cases for Lynis:
- Security auditing
- Vulnerability scanning
- System hardening
Why open source?
Open source software provides trust by having people look into the code. Adjustments are easily made, providing you with a flexible solution for your business. But can you trust systems and software with your data? Lynis provides you this confidence. It does so with extensive auditing of your systems. This way you can verify and stay in control of your security needs.
System Auditing
Auditing made easy
With IT departments already under pressure, the demand for securing systems is only getting higher. This is why regular system auditing is required.
Unfortunately, manual checking is too much work and most solutions only present the issues. With Lynis Enterprise auditing is quick, easy and affordable.
Extensive
Audits performed by Lynis are extensive. From the bootloader up to the last piece of software, it all gets checked. Any vulnerable package, weak configuration value or unneeded daemon will show up sooner or later.
System Hardening
Limiting the weak spots
To increase the defenses of a system, additional security measures have to be implemented. This process of fortification is named system hardening. It consists of removing unnecessary parts, limit default access and tighten up the permissions of processes and users. While Unix based systems are fairly secure by default, the need of system hardening will always exist.
Hardening systems without the right tools, can take a lot of time. Besides investigating, the changes have to be planned, implemented and tested at several stages.
Auditing and Hardening
Our solution performs an in-depth audit, to determine the applicable hardening controls. Together with these controls the right suggestions are selected for your environment. A customized plan will be part of your system hardening efforts. To simplify the process of system hardening, hardening snippets are provided. Almost as simple as a copy-paste, you can harden the system of your workstations and servers.
Technical details
The hardening snippets used are depending on the related control. Usually there is a piece of shell script available to test for a specific control, or to implement the related control. Where possible and applicable, also snippets are provided for configuration management tools like cfengine, Chef and Puppet.
Vulnerability Scanning
Weaknesses
Discovering weaknesses in IT security is named vulnerability scanning. It is the art of finding weaknesses, before malicious people do. These vulnerabilities may exist in essential parts of the operating system, software, or even configuration files.
Best of all worlds
Our solution focuses on host based scanning, combined with scanning via the network. This way more ground is covered and better insights can be provided. Solutions only using network scanning are nowadays not extensive enough.
Most of the vulnerability tests are already built-in. With the help of plugins, additional tests are performed to discover vulnerabilities. Also information is collected, which can be used to determine weaknesses in unexpected areas.
