Windows 11

Fedora Silverblue. But since Fedora aims to include telemetry (although in a reasonable way) by version 40, I'll switch soon to something else. I feel it might be time to give BSD an honest attempt.

MacOS. Looks like there's tens of us on Lemmy. Tens!

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

Linux (Arch with KDE Plasma)

Gentoo on my desktop, and Fedora on my laptop.

Endeavour OS

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

I use arch btw. I am waiting for vanilla os v2 for my laptop though, I think it would be great for a device which I want to "just work". Rn it has Ubuntu with some dell repos which have not been updated since Ubuntu 20.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

EndeavourOS

Linux Mint with gnome desktop

Ubuntu Server for my self-hosted cloud service

Mxlinux

Linux openSUSE

Pop_OS!

Fedora

Arch Linux with Openbox

Windows 10 Home

Laptop is an m1 Air. I needed a new laptop and I wanted the System76 lemur pro but it was during the pandemic /chip shortage and I couldn't wait. It was my first apple product and Ive been pleasantly surprised. Iterm2 is fantastic and brew is one of the best package managers I've seen. The apple silicon is incredible and I think the ML cores are something people are sleeping on. They do ML tasks faster than my Nvidia GPUs by a good margin. And unified memory means, if you spec it right, you can have access to tons of ram for ml or GPU tasks.

My desktop has been Pop for 3 years or so. All the games I play work flawlessly and are getting even better as proton gets more love.

Pop is the perfect balance of everything. Cosmic is great, their kernel is very recent, they have the latest gfx card drivers, apt flatpaks means you have access to everything you'd need and it's rock solid stable. The upgrades have been flawless and their docs are incredibly useful.

I have windows lingering on a drive for dual boot but I haven't logged in to that other than to run updates in 1-2 years.

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.

linux

Windows 11. I don't especially like Windows 11 but dev and gaming is pretty great on Windows. Visual Studio is pretty important for me too.

Rocking Endeavour OS right now. It's been working well for me so far.

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

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

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

Linux Mint with KDE Plasma.

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.

Currently on ArcoLinux on both my desktop and laptop (although they both have windows installs that I basically never use except for the rare case I need windows software or games)

Currently Arch with KDE, switched recently from Gnome. Probably gonna swap to something a little more basic for the desktop environment, it's pretty but in the words of Peter Griffin, "It insists on itself"

Kubuntu FTW

EndeavourOS on my laptop, Pop!_OS on my gaming PC.

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

Win 10 but I'm craving to install mint/endeavour.

Win 11 because of games, music production and other windows-only tools (TIHI). Some flavor of Debian everywhere else.

Kubuntu

I got good with Pop-OS :)
