macOS because I own a MacBook.

If not, Arch Linux. Used it for years prior to buying my MacBook.

Fedora and Arch right now. Fedora is what I main and Arch is just for ricing and testing things. Been trying out VanillaOS recently and I really like it. I use Void and Gentoo on occasion when I feel like tinkering.

Win11 for work laptop. Wn11 on my personal desktop, with WSL. I use Debian on my personal laptop and a number of "servers" running Debian.

Fedora 38 on a Framwork laptop.

I've been running linux as my primary OS (for personal and work) since the late 90s. Windows and Mac just feel so unproductive.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Windows. I have windows apps that I need to use at work, as well as MS Office functionality that is not well supported on MacOS. So at home I use the same OS, to avoid getting annoyed due to changes in the operating systems. I develop for Linux-based docker containers, though.

Ubuntu cinnamon on my shared computer. MABOX Linux on my fuck-around Chromebook.

#garudalinux #archlinux , cause I have full control over everything on my system. Everything else gets put in a virtual machine using KVM.

This week it's arch, though I do dual boot win11 specifically for iracing and iracing alone as that doesn't let me run it under proton.

pop os on my laptop and pc, steam os on my deck. my work laptop uses mac os, and they had me use a w*ndows machine for a while but that's getting shipped back soon.

i'm not really surprised at the demographics here; it does make sense that so many of us would prefer the foss operating systems

I'm back to Windows 10 (now 11) on my main PC since I bought an Xbox and there's hassle-free Cloud gaming, crossplay etc.

When I exclusively played on PC and built the new Machine, I was too cheap to buy a Windows licence. I tried Pop!OS because I like their gaming-focussed apporach. All games that were relevant to me (via Steam, mostly) worked fine.

I've since bought a Steam Deck, so I'm running SteamOS as well.

Laptop: popos Reason: 2 hours battery on windows, 8-12 hours on popos due to sleep issues on windows and Nvidia GPU not turning off on windows.

Desktop: Windows, too many apps without relevant replacements.

Servers: Linux or bsd(depending on vm/reason)

I adore Linux, but at present, I use Windows 11 on all my devices.

My main PC is primarily for gaming, with an NVIDIA GPU (which whilst much better on Linux now, still isn't perfect), so Windows works better there.

For work, also Windows 11, since I'm a software dev, creating Windows software with .NET, ASP.NET, deploying to Windows machines, IIS, using MS SQL server etc. All in Visual Studio.

The Windows ecosystem just... works better for my use-cases, regardless of how much I do like Linux!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Linux Mint on my main computer, and I've been using my old laptop for distro hopping but I think I might settle on MX Linux.

Arch because of the neofetch

Windows 11.

I just require Windows for a lot of software. The thing holding me back from switching to a Linux distro, used to be Adobe Premiere and Adobe Photoshop. I have since moved to DaVinci resolve, and I also purchased the Affinity Suite.

Now the problem is that the Affinity Suite doesn't support Linux either..

It's getting exhausting trying to make Linux work for me, and I already have to give up a lot of stuff, and make compromises, so I'm just sticking with Windows.

Ubuntu Mate on two main PCs. One running windows ten for TurboTax ๐Ÿ˜ญ

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Windows on my PC (ugh) and Fedora on my laptop, been thinking of moving the PC to linux mint, but still a bit hesitant.

Arch because:

  • it is the only distro I could install my wifi drivers on when I started with GNU/Linux
  • too poor to afford hardware for Gentoo
  • bloat = bad
  • spyware = bad
  • Applโ‚ฌ & Micro$oft = bad
