Fedora, with proton, I waited for my steam deck, and then once I realized how good it felt, I made the jump for my main computer, I haven't looked back to Windows yet.
Windows 10. I primarily use it for gaming and development. I also have a Linux box for home automation with Home Assistant so I guess you could argue I use that the most passively.
Archcraftπ€πΏ
Windows 11 and iOS. I could probably figure out what Iβm doing on Linux but donβt have the energy to bother. I have used a bunch of the debloter scripts to get rid of Microsoftβs garbage.
Windows and WSL with Ubuntu.
Kubuntu 22.04, while my home server is Debian 12.
Void Linux
Ubuntu for quite a few years but I'm going back to Debian next.
Btw I use arch. Actually Void Linux with bspwm, but I wanted too say it one time. And windows on the gaming machine.
Fedora Workstation. Used to dual boot with Win11 to solely play Genshin Impact, but it randomly became compatible on Linux so I have no reason to go back. Looking at either Fedora Silverblue, or might mess around with NixOS tomorrow.
Windows. It is the only machine that uses this operating system.
I use Arch with XFCE. I also have a dual boot Manjaro as backup. Also XFCE.
I've got 3 main computers because I'm a tech hoarder. Ubuntu MATE, Linux Mint, and Pop!_OS with XFCE. I've also got a little craptop for distro hopping, currently it's got Debian 12. My work provided a Windows laptop but I only have to bring it to meetings.
Windows 11 Pro with WSL2 Ubuntu
PowerShell is my preferred terminal shell on any OS and I've never found a Linux desktop I get along with (don't get me started on the bloated Fisher Price playcenter that is MacOS), so Windows 11 with Ubuntu in WSL is perfect for me.
Runit Artix
Arch Linux. I also dual boot Windows 10 but 99% of my uptime is on Arch.
macOS HighSierra
I have always been an avid Mac user, so currently Ventura. That said, I did build a frankenbox when I wasnβt sure what would happen with gaming on my Mac (I donβt have major requirements, quite content with my little corner of MMORPG and the occasion Steam games), and that has Windows 11.
I have worked cross-platform for many years, and frankly I liked the version of Windows where the window art was translucent? Was that Windows 7? I liked that. I really did not like when Microsoft made their OS look like their phone (and yes I am cranky Apple made their desktop OS look similar to their phone).
I have not dabbled in Linux, but that is mostly because I am that most dangerous of users: the one who has partial knowledge and too much curiosity. Iβm the person who thought you could upgrade Windows by simply replacing the io subsystem on a desktop with the one from more recent version on a laptop (back in that day, you could take the new system folder off a Mac and put it on a Mac with an oiler version and it would upgrade). It took 2 weeks to rebuild that PC, the entire machine needed to be wiped clean, we had to dig up the install floppies to get the CD to work to be able to use the system CDs to install a fresh copy of the OS. I am a menace to technology. ;-)
Windows 11 on my main Desktop, mainly because anti cheat. Debian on my Raspberry Pi. And SteamOS obviously on my Steam Deck.
OpenSuse Tumbleweed
Windows 11 on my gaming rig, macOS for all other computing tasks. If I could reliably game on a Mac with good quality, I would. I did some Linux gaming for awhile and was really glad that it had come a long way, but I like not having to think about any kind of technical troubleshooting (usually) when gaming on Windows. And the overall usability of a unix OS is hard to beat.
Fedora kinoite/silverblue
Windows 11 is my newest "main" computer. I also just got a nice Win 11 laptop for my new business.
Though my "working" IT laptop boots with both Windows 10 and Ubuntu.
Windows 10
Windows 10 unfortunately. Will go back to Linux some day but I can't be bothered at the moment.
Windows 11 on my desktop to game on and Ubuntu (Prefer Linux Mint though) on my laptop as a self-hosted server.
EndeavourOS, it's based on Arch Linux.
Alpine Linux on most of my servers, if want something else for some reason Ubuntu.
I use TUXEDO OS 2 on my new Tuxedo Infinitybook S15. I can tell it's quite good!
