fedora 38

Manjaro

Fedora Silverblue. The ultimate bulletproof no-babysitting Linux experience!

Granted, I do fit into a fairly specific niche of users who don't have any hard attachment to Windows or macOS. I'm a programmer (Linux is great for dev work, ever wonder why WSL exists?) and all the games I play are either native or work great under Proton.

My work laptop runs Ubuntu, my home PC runs Windows 10. I used Mac OS in my last job. I'm not really picky about it.

Debian. On every computer with a physical keyboard. And all servers. Mainly because of philosophy, stability, release cycle (2 years for major updates which I find neither too longnkor too short) and having gotten (is that proper english lol) used to it.

Windows 10, even despite me being a software developer. It's just more convenient than to bother with Linux, and Android Studio works on Windows just fine

Not proud to say Windows LTSC, but at least it's better than retail Windows.

Though I have run FreeBSD on certain systems like for building embedded software at the hobby level, but that's not something I use all the time. It's my favorite OS though, elegance in its design.

Manjaro, because it's up to date while easy to use.

Gentoo (Linux).

For personal stuff (mostly development and general browsing) I use PopOS, have been using it for 4 years now with no problems whatsoever.

For work I use macOS because forced.

Will never use a Windows machine again. I tried my wife's Windows 11 machine, and it fucking SUCKS!!

For gaming I have a Steam Deck which is SteamOS.

Linux all the way!

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

Windows 11, but I want to eventually go back to Linux, waiting on better fractional scaling then I think I can head back.

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

Another Ubuntu user here.

Arch Linux on my desktop, laptop and server. It just works and I don't have to deal with any issues, I've been using it since 2015 and I found it to be the easiest and most rock solid OS I've ever used. I use Syncthing to sync files across all the computers. Then there's my work laptop, my employer provides Windows 10/11 and Ubuntu, so I chose Ubuntu.

I've been using FreeBSD for close to 15 years now as my main operating system. Very rarely I have to boot into windows.

EndeavourOS, been on Linux for 25 years

Windows 11 because I'm too lazy to try and figure out how to run applicationa/games on a Linux based OS.

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

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

MacOS Ventura on the iMac, Manjaro on the laptop.

I use Linix Mint. Close enough to Windows for the basic user, with all of the Linux versatility. Not a fan of the UI on other distros tbh. I've been able to run games on it with minimal extra configuration for the last six or so years. Keep it updated and do a fresh install of the new version every couple years and you're golden.

Alpine Linux

Wow, am I the only ChromeOS user here? That surprises me

Debian

Arch Linux

Nobara Linux

NixOS!

Windows 11

macOS, and after having to use virtual desktops on windows for work, I appreciate macs spaces implementation so much more.

I have windows 11 on my gaming computer and that’s fine with a third party clipboard manager, and powertoys.

Windows 10 in the office even with powertoys and a third party clipboard manager still annoys me.

The virtual desktop includes all monitors as one desktop. If you switch one screen to a different desktop it switches all of them. On my Mac I can switch per screen with a swipe.

Also the virtual desktop overview is laggy so moving windows between virtual desktops is a pain. Furthermore in that overview you can only move windows between the same monitors virtual desktop, you can move across monitors for whatever reason.

Linux

Opensuse Tumbleweed

Windows 10 BUT im using chris titus's powershell script and winaero tweaker and openshell to remove all windows apps and customize the os, plus chocolatey automation and fastcopy scripts to automate my installation process. i havent timed it but on a good day i could reinstall windows and have my system up and running in the hour, including formatting and installing windows 10 to the disk.

NixOS!

Linux mint for almost 2 years now. Finally stopped dual booting windows about a month ago after realizing I was running out of things I knew how to do better with microsoft.

Ubuntu, it has a great community and works well. I don't need more

I used manjaro for quite some time but the aur packages being out of date caused some major issues so I switched to archlinux. I've been happy with it and have been using it for about a year now.

Desktop: Windows 10

Laptop: MacOS

Mobile: iOS

And I use an iPad for DND character sheets/notes and generally running sessions for my players.

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

Wouldn't this thread be super biased to Linux users since those who use linux as a daily driver tend to talk about it more often than win/mac users?

MacOS Ventura because my industry is Mac-based.
