Manjaro on my gaming PC, Xubuntu on a couple of lab PCs, Haiku on a very old PC, windows 11 at work with Xubuntu on a VM.

OpenSUSE on my desktop, Fedora Silverblue and OpenBSD on my laptop

ElementaryOS

Linux or ChromeOS most often. I keep one older windows 10 laptop around for specific software that won't run on anything else. I don't have to use it very often these days but when I do need it it's always for something important that can't run on any other OS.

I moved my parents to ChromeOS a couple of years ago, I use Linux on my work laptop and on my personal laptop as well.

Pop_OS for the main PC, Ubuntu for the laptop and Debian for all the servers (lots of pis). There are 2 PCs left that run windows 10, one is the media rig and the other was an AMD APU that lived in a briefcase as part of a "totally not laptop" thing I built. Its a slow process to fully migrate away from windows, but so far im managing.

My daily rn is a laptop running Win 10.

I have the parts for a new rig, I'm thinking of running Mint on that.

openSUSE Tumbleweed

Windows 10 on the HTPC, dual boot to 7 when I need to rip VHS etc.

Windows 10 on main computer as I need google drive sync, visual basic for excel, stream what you hear and Playit Live for broadcasting.

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Seven systems in my house -

3 Windows 10 - One my gaming/workstation rig, my living room HTPC, and a Dell XPS 13 1 Ubuntu - Rig I cobbled together from older parts for player 2. 2 SteamOS - They're Steam Decks after all... 1 Windows 11 - Work computer. I use the XPS if I can avoid it.

Ubuntu 2204 with normal Gnome on a Thinkpad T14, used for both work and personal stuff. Been eyeing Fedora Silverblue for a while…

For gaming I use GeforceNow on that same laptop.

Ubuntu 2204

OMG! What's it like‽ Did Linux become a mainstream desktop by then?

How'd you smuggle it back in time? And no: It doesn't surprise me in the slightest that Linux maintained backwards compatibility for the ancient hardware we're all running for that long 👍

[–] sturlabragason@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Dude I love you. ❤️

I used ChronoBox, a deravitive of https://distrobox.it/ to scp the source back to 2024.

And yes, we’re pretty sure 2204 is the gonna be the year of linux desktop!!!

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed!

[–] Magister@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

MX Linux, since ~8 years

[–] SaintWacko@midwest.social 3 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Windows 10 for now. When they EoL it I'll switch to a Linux distro. Not sure what yet. I really like PopOS on my Surface because the gnome interface works well, but I think I'll go with something built with KDE for my desktop

Right now I'm using Windows 11 but I will most certainly migrate to Fedora in the future.

Edit: I already use Fedora Server on my homeserver.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)
