my work computer is a mac, my desktop runs arch linux (btw). It dual boots windows 10 but I havenβt used it in months, even then it was just because I had a thought I hadnβt updated it in a while. I can boot the windows partition in virtualbox in linux if needed.

I spend most browsing time on my ipad, but my main computer is a mac, where i do serious stuff like emacs and factorio. Work stuff not mentioned.
Windows. Like everybody else in AEC, there is no alternative yet
debian testing
Windows 10 primarily, dual boot with Linux Mint.
I'd like to say I want to switch to maining Linux when Win10 goes EOL, but I make music with LMMS as a hobby and tried to switch that to Linux to get hooking multiple tracks to a single plugin to work...but the VST I wanted to use with that didn't work at all on Linux, so I have recent memory of compatibility issues with Linux. I'd probably already be maining Linux if I didn't game.
Fedora 38
I stuck with Windows 7 far longer than I should've. Windows 10 just rubbed me wrong with all the unrequested changes every feature update and privacy issues.
Then I found Windows 10 LTSC and I'm not going back.

KDE Ubuntu, I like it so much more than gnome. I've never tried another Linux and I have so much customization set up with with KDE that switching to somewhere else is really not appealing.
Windows 11. I miss 10. Strictly use my overpriced laptop for gaming though so it's all I need.
Vanilla OS but trying to learn about the differences between blendOS and Vanilla OS
Windows, but I'm in the process of setting up arch Linux on a separate drive which will become my daily driver once I get it configured how I want it. I love bspwm and have had it on my laptop for a few years, but my main computer has a 3840x1080 monitor which is a bit more difficult to setup smoothly
Windows 10 cause my last desktop took a shit and my job gave me a personal computer (they moved everyone to laptops so they had 'leftovers'). No hard drive, but I got a flash drive with Windows 10.
I got a pretty decent computer for the price of an SSD.
Maybe they are judging me on my porn and news habits... I watch a really really gross amount of news.

macOS for both work and personal (Personal M1 Mini, Work issued MBP).
Home: Windows 11, work OSX. I moved my personal computer to Linux a couple years ago (I've been using Linux since the mid 90s), but game support was an issue. I'll try again soon. Windows is a necessary evil that I'd like not to be necessary.
Windows 11 for my Surface & Gaming PC. Probably gonna try out SurfaceLinux soon though since the Surface Pro 7 is starting to show its age.
But I have a Dell XPS 13 that's running Ubuntu Jammy now though. I alternate thru all 3 depending on the day.
Fedora Silverblue and Windows 11 (for games I canβt get to run on Fedora).
Manjaro Linux on Work PC and private Laptop.
Gaming PC 'runs' on Windows and I hate it
Lots of meming about Linux on Lemmy, but have you tried it for gaming? Unless you're playing certain competitive games with intrusive anti-cheat systems like Valorant, nowadays just about everything runs on it.
I'm mostly playing online so it really didn't work out for me so far but I'll keep trying :D
I'm mostly playing Diablo 4, some Steam Games and a little Game Pass. Am I ok on Linux? How is performance compared to windows?
From what I've heard, Diablo requires a few hoops to jump through to get Battle.net installed, but the game itself runs fine. I have no idea about game pass.
arch Linux obviously because I'm a fucking genius ass hipster underwear fruitcake
