Windows 10. And seeing the replies of our fellow fediversers, I think I’m not mainstream here 🀣

Debian Testing. I ran Ubuntu for years but really didn't like the changes in GNOME they made, decided to try Debian Non-free and I've loved it.

I use Windows 11 and honestly am pretty happy with it. My laptop runs on fedora. I would Consider Switching to Linux on my Desktop but i do music production and some of my soft and Hardware (NI maschine mk3 and some VSTs) dont run on Linux. As long as that is the case, Switching doesnt make sense for me.

Edit: if anyone has suggestions how to get maschine, vsts from NI komplete and VSTs in General to run on Linux, i would be super happy. As a second DAW i usw bitwig which supports linux but as all my other stuff is windows Based im pretty much tied to Microsoft

Linux (Pop OS) . It's amazing how seamless gaming has become with Steam and Proton. Never thought I'd use Linux on my main PC but here we are! There are still issues but hopefully it keeps improving

Linux openSUSE

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Pop OS on my System 76 desktop (Thelio Mira). Couldn't be happier with it.

Dual boot NixOS for productivity and Windows for games. I do also have a macbook that I rarely use.

Linux (Arch with KDE Plasma)

Nobara linux on my media center/gaming PC. The same on my laptop currently, but I'm a habitual distro-hopper, so I may be on NixOS or Vanilla or maybe Void next week. Whichever I happen to be on, there's a 90% chance I'll be using the Gnome DE.

MacOS with a tiling window manager for work, Win10 on PC for gaming and Linux on all servers. I would run Linux for work if Office, Adobe and esp. Outlook ran on it, MacOS with Yabai + SKHD is the closest I can get to a Linux experience while still being functional for work.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

macOS on a Hackintosh. It’s stable AF, and I love it. Use it for work and music production. Then I dual boot Windows 10 for games.

Windows 11. I don't especially like Windows 11 but dev and gaming is pretty great on Windows. Visual Studio is pretty important for me too.

Pop!_OS (Linux)

Popos on my personal laptop and Debian on my workstation at the office.

Fedora Silverblue. But since Fedora aims to include telemetry (although in a reasonable way) by version 40, I'll switch soon to something else. I feel it might be time to give BSD an honest attempt.

I use Manjaro. I know not everyone likes it but it's an easy way to get into Arch based distros and i really like the rolling updates instead of incremental. I still use Ubuntu for servers at the moment.

MacOS for work. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my private.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

MacOS. Looks like there's tens of us on Lemmy. Tens!

Fedora Workstation. Everything just works out of the box, even AAC codec with Bose headphone.

Endeavour OS

Pop!_OS for desktop, FreeBSD for server

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I use arch btw. I am waiting for vanilla os v2 for my laptop though, I think it would be great for a device which I want to "just work". Rn it has Ubuntu with some dell repos which have not been updated since Ubuntu 20.

[–] r_ffer23 4 points 1 year ago

Fedora Linux. I was skeptical at the beginning but I am glad I switched from Windows.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Linux Mint. Never needed anything else, and hopefully it'll stay this way..

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Just installed Fedora Kinoite. I'm running immutably now

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

EndeavourOS on my laptop, Pop!_OS on my gaming PC.

Fedora Workstation 38. Dual boot Windows on a separate drive, but this is solely for gaming. I know gaming on Linux has gotten better, but I want the best experience, which is much easier on Windows.

Debian

As a Linux user since 1996 or thereabouts I've tried most distributions. I've been a hardcore Gentoo ricer and "I'm using Arch btw..". But these days stability is my main requirement and Debian fills that need perfect.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Fedora, used Arch for many years but decided to try it out and have really enjoyed it. After Red Hats RHEL decisions I might swap to arch or nix os.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Pop OS from the start of the year. The Steam Deck showed be his far Linux gaming has come, no issues running the things I play. Glad to be rid of Windows

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Windows.. for gaming on my desktop and Photoshop on my laptop.. I know there's alternatives, but not without compromise
