TempleOS, the only Christian operating system.
But Santa has his origins in Norse mythology.

To be technical Santa is sort of a blend of various gift giving characters from various countries that only really started to be a thing in it's current form during the 19th century.
There's the historical "Saint Nicholas" who actually existed. He was commonly depicted wearing red robes and he would secretly give gifts to people. There's a lot of fictional historical stories related to him, which is where things like Elves came from.
In Britain they had something called "Father Christmas" which wasn't associated with Children until the Victorian era. It became merged in with Santa later. Santa is often called "Father Christmas" over there
There's Krampus. Some kind of German monster who appears in the Saint Nicholas stories. He is a creature who punishes children if they misbehave. Which can be seen as being later adapted into Santa's "naughty or nice" list
Odin is of course another inspiration, and probably the oldest one. Since he was associated with giving gifts during Yule, would sneak down chimneys, was a wanderer and participated in the Wild Hunt which he flew across the sky on his eight legged horse. Which was clearly later adapted into Santa's Eight Reindeer. Etc.
Linux maybe, it is about sharing, but so is BSD and Android.

He'd use Windows, because Santa is a consumerist whore who slaves away the entire fucking year to help bratty little shits get the new Xbox or Iphone or whatever the fuck, and steals cookies and milk you leave out on top of it.
The ELF binary format would be involved. >_>
He'd use Arch Linux. Like him, it only works about once a year.
Posted from Arch. It's a joke, fellow Archfags. Lighten up.

windows bc he s always looking in to your window to see if you are being bad or good
Oh Can I please have your wallpaper?!
Red Hat Linux.
And his naughty or nice spy network would put PRISM to shame.
There's a literal Christian saint inbetween the traditions of Odin and Santa Claus, mitre included. Saint Nicholas, a saint who was already known for a tale of giving gifts, got some influence from Odin traditions and became a proto-Santa. Saint Nicholas rides on the roofs on a white horse and delivers presents into childrens' boots.
He's a fat neckbeard that hides away for 364 1/4 days a year on average and obsesses over free sharing of things to the point that his life revolves around it. There's no way he hasn't touched some hardcore FOSS-only linux distro. That, and the way that he has hundreds (thousands?) of minions helping him accomplish this makes him an RMS clone.
Are you sure he didn't just create Stallman as a clone of himself?
No, problem.
...
Most versions of it that users end up with and most software for it is proprietary. At most you can use it as a base for something sharing-friendly.
Has anyone ever seen Stallman and Santa in the same room?
I've found some highly suspicious footage.
Fuck you and your drawings.
then steals your cookies
Manjaro-ho-ho
364 days spent on ricing and messing with AUR. Santa is a neet anyway.
I know Santa, he's an Amiga guy from Sarasota who runs a 3-line WaReZ board for Amiga/PC/SNES.
Probably an in house proprietary OS brought to you by magic and elf labor.
SInce Santa is a infantilised (and commercialised) image of a pre-christian tradition, I'd say he uses IOS.
Webm related, a nice little tale about the man whose roots go far beyond the christianisation of Europe.
It all makes sense now.
The beard.
The obsession with sharing.
