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 because my industry is Mac-based.

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

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

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.

Heavy gamer here. My main Distro is EndeavourOS, came from Linux Mint months ago. My homelab runs on Ubuntu Server.

Arch Linux

Everything else just sucks (haven't tried LFS, NixOS and Gentoo. But for sure I kinda hate Debian and Fedora based distros as they kinda suck and I mostly hate Microsoft based Operating Systems as they suck the most)

change my mind.

Linux openSUSE

Debian Linux (stable)

Windows 10 on my main machine and Lubuntu on my home server

Main PC is Win 10 for gaming and audio production. MacOS for work.

Linux (Arch with KDE Plasma)

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

My main gaming PC is Windows 10. Other devices have varying flavors of Ubuntu Linux.

I have dual boot Manjaro/Windows, but honestly I haven't used the windows partition in two years except for the very occasional moment I need to check if a document format is alright to send to someone, or anyone else not familiar with Linux needs to do something.

Gentoo on my desktop, and Fedora on my laptop.

On my main computer I use Arch. My laptop is a MacBook, so that one runs macOS.

Manjaro

Windows 11 ^^ It is what it is

I've been using windows for years now and I don't think I'll ever switch to another OS, Linux or otherwise.

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.

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

Win10 so I can play heavily modded skyrim

Manjaro on my PC and Fedora on my laptop.

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.

Endeavour OS

Windows 11. I'd love to switch to Linux but I have a few edge cases that keep me from doing that right now. I made the mistake of buying Forza Horizon 5 on the Windows store instead of steam. I know I can move my save over to the steam version and rebuy it, but I got the premium version and have no idea what DLC I need to buy again when I look at the store page. And I have an oculus quest which I use with Oculus Link to play PCVR games. There's ALVR to do it on Linux, but compared to link it's not going to cut it for me. Once I have a new VR headset (AKA when valve replaces the Index) and Forza horizon 6 is out/5 is EOL I'm more than happy to make the jump.

Windows 11

I use Garuda Gnome Linux. It's setup nearly how I would set up an arch install from scratch, just working out of the box. I've done a lot of distro hopping in the past year, but I keep going back to Garuda.

Windows 10. No idea why anyone is using Win11.

I've tried Linux every few years for the last few decades and it's never been at a point where I can switch. I am in the process of trying again, however.

Started today trying to dual boot it on a Windows laptop that has a boot SSD and data HDD. Tried resizing the HDD and installing Nobara and can't get the machine to boot into Grub (the suggested fix on their site didn't work, possibly because of the two physical drives). Searching for a solution was fruitless and I'm honestly over it already. I want an OS, not a hobby.

The very definition of insanity right here. There is ALWAYS something that doesn't work and I'm not a fucking idiot but I'm not a developer either. Linux fans act like people on Windows have no excuse not to switch but I've been trying since the 90s and Linux just does everything it can to frustrate me. God knows how someone who's not tech savvy is supposed to figure anything out. /rant

Fedora, pretty much everything I want from a Linux distro and desktop OS, fits my needs perfectly and what I would recommend most people.

Linux. Pop!_OS

NixOS. I distrohopped for years but now I've landed and it has been several years since I felt any urge to explore alternatives (maybe with the exception of Guix, which is basically the same idea but everything is in Guile Scheme (Lisp)).

I'm never going back to a mutable OS if I can help it.

As a webdev, I'm loving Win11 with WSL2. The new Terminal is great and Powertools make organizing windows on my ultrawide easy. I've had to use exclusively Macs for a while for my last company and was not really a fan.

Windows 10

Windows, because gaming. Sticking with 10 as long as possible (LTSC), maybe 12 will be worth upgrading to

Windows 10 primarily due to work requirements. I have a laptop with Xubuntu for personal use.

I duel boot. I use Mint 99% of the time & Win10 for that 1% of software/games I can't get working.
