Windows 11 on my work/gaming system, Ubuntu Server on the server that runs PiHole, VPN, and file sharing, MX Linux on my laptop. On my W11 machine I've also got VMware with machines running every version of Windows from 95 through 7, a few different Linux variants for testing, Mac OS, and a few Win10 lab machines for work. Don't get me started on how much I've upgraded this machine since I bought it in 2021!

Elementary OS because I like Arch, but I want things to be a bit more creature comfortable.

I used to dual boot windows 10 and gentoo Linux before my CPU died ( 😭 ). There’s so many Linux games now I probably will just run gentoo… (I do have a windows 98 build I use for nostalgia)

Arch Linux on my laptop, Debian on my server and Windows 10 on my gaming pc

Windows 11 for gaming, EndeavourOS for everything else

Win 11 on my desktop and laptop. Unraid on my home server.

I dual boot Windows 10 and EndeavorOS on my PC for gaming and project work respectively.

Windows 11 for CAD and other stuff that's Windows exclusive. Would love to get steamOS off the steamdeck though, I used it as a temporary desktop and it rocked

Windows. Use it for school and gaming. Almost never touch it tho.

I really wish I could say SqueakNOS an experimental OS written in Smalltalk by some crazy beautiful people, but alas that dream died over a decade ago. Imagine the excitement of being able to rewrite any part of your OS on the fly and the terror when it all went wrong.

Windows 10 for my main desktop, Windows 11 on my laptop, and work desktop.

I love Linux, it's a great OS but it has a lot of usability issues alongside corporations that won't support it. GamePass and Visual Studio are the two major things I use on Windows that don't have any ability to run on Linux.

Because I know people are going to ask, the usability issues on Linux have been:

Fedora Linux: Mouse settings didn't work (sensitivity and acceleration), updating the OS bricked the boot because I had the Nvidia proprietary drivers installed and the update didn't account for that.

Manjaro: Worked great but still had the same mouse issues where I couldn't update sensitivity and setting the profile to "flat" to remove mouse acceleration didn't actually remove mouse acceleration.

In General: I've found Linux to contain a level of jank that Windows just doesn't have. It still needs a good bit of polish. Linus Tech Tips did a Linux Desktop trial for a week and documented a lot of unpolished bits.

I look forward to the day that Linux has become more polished.

Home computer - Windows 10, because I didn't like Windows 11 School laptop - Windows 11, because I sacrificed it to see if I would like W11 on my home computer Work computer - Mac OS, because I don't get a say in it

I am on Mac OS El Monterey for audio production work, and Windows 10 for general productivity/gaming.

I love Fedora, but found battery life less than optimal, and many of the programs I need for employment simply do not have Linux versions.

I use a form of Linux on all my devices except for my work laptop, but I use WSL2 mostly.

FreeBSD because it just works. I like the consistency of it.

Windows 10 - work PC because I have to + WSL

Arch - Service laptop - because I hate my free time(just kidding BTW)

PopOS - personal laptop - because of nvidia and gaming

Linux Mint - family laptop - because of maintenance and stability

Ubuntu - Server...well I'm lazy

Ubuntu / Kubuntu.

I tried Arch (Manjaro) for a while but was totally lost every time it broke down, which it did a lot. Every update felt like a gamble. The AUR is great but I need more stability.

Windows 10 for my main PC, with Linux Mint in dual boot. I code in mint. I might switch over to Linux full time soon as things keep getting better and better there. Gaming was my main holdup and that seems to be less of an issue especially with the steamdeck making huge new inroads.

My laptop is the same.

My server is Unraid, which has VMs for a ton of OS just for fun. I rarely use them anymore but they exist for testing and learning and stuff.
