I dualboot Windows 10 Pro and Fedora 38 KDE Spin on my home desktop.

I use Fedora for programming and to administer my other systems (Minecraft server, NAS, Raspberry Pi), and Windows for gaming.

I plan to move gaming to Linux too, but so far I've been too lazy to make the jump. I'm also not sure if I should go with an extra install of Arch or just try to do it on my Fedora.

macOS for both work and personal use

[–] MangoKangaroo@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Debian 12 with GNOME. I'm boring and just want something that works. :)

[–] torbjoern@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Debian Bookworm KDE - though I have to admit that it's not my final destination when it comes to distro hopping, I guess. Currently thinking about giving Zorin OS a go.

[–] Socket462@feddit.it 3 points 2 years ago

Windows 11 as my everyday os

But everything around me is Linux (proxmox running Debian LXC) or BSD (opnsense, truenas)

[–] User0705@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Win 11 it just works for me

[–] matt@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Debian 12 with KDE Plasma, works perfectly on every system I have thrown at it.

I don't think there's a single "main" computer anymore. My home computer is Linux Mint Cinnamon. My mobile computer (which I use nearly as much as my desktop OS) is Android.

My next smartphone is going to allow installing a privacy-respecting custom ROM (because Linux on mobile really isn't there yet). Once I do that, I'll focus on f-droid apps only. Something to look forward to.

[–] Lolors17@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Fedora, first I just went with it to try it, but now I stick with it. It's great because things just work, and I haven't come across problems I didn't know how to fix.

[–] Chadsmo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The last version of Windows I used on a computer I owned / own is 3.1. I’ve been on MacOS ever since and will continue to be for as long as I’m able.

Arch/KDE on my laptop which is the tinkering machine, Pop!OS and Windows on the desktop that other people use and I'm not allowed to break.

[–] josephsh98@lemmy.kde.social 3 points 2 years ago

Kubuntu on my Laptop, Windows 11/KDE Neon dualboot on my gaming pc.

[–] IlliteratiDomine@infosec.pub 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ubuntu at work, Arch at home. Having a linux machine at work has been an incredible upgrade.

I dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 10, which came preinstalled and is pretty much only used for games at this times.

I'm not sure which one is my main. I have an old MacBook Air, haven't updated the OS in a long time because I got tired of MacOS becoming merged with iOS. I have a desktop that dual boots between Windows 10 and Ubuntu. I use them all about the same amount. Honestly, I use my phone more than either.

[–] ppp@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

Arch with i3wm

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 years ago

Ubuntu. For at least a decade now, I'm sure.

Linux Mint with Cinnamon and XFCE. I also own a Mac (actually its my company computer), but i keep it for Power Point and Microsoft Office. My company is ok for me to work with my personal Linux computer, as long as i show them proof it's encrypted. Nice guys.

Usually Linux Mint and Windows 11, but recently installed Manjaro on my Linux partitions to check it out.

[–] CAPSLOCKFTW@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Arch with KDE on Desktop, Arch with custom DE (based on i3) on my Laptop. However I consider switching to KDE on my Laptop due to updates requiring me to fix things quite often.

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 years ago

Linux (Arch).

I can't stand Windows anymore. So much crap that I don't want and can't get rid of.

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Debian Bookworm, I like to live on the edge. The extremely stable edge.

[–] darkgeek@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I use Gentoo because it's quite customizable. What's more, building a whole system from source is more secureπŸ˜„.

Windows 10 + linux mint dual booted on my desktop which is my current main, but I have windows 11 on my laptop that will become my main computer because college. Unfortunately windows 11 is required, i dont even know if stuff like solidworks that i will have to use would run on linux. I am also just more used to windows in general

[–] Tardigrade@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Fedora KDE feels like the perfect blend of customization and stability for me. Oh, and the packages are up to date. I have been on Linux since the early 2000's and finally stopped distrohoping with Fedora about 1 year ago.

[–] ntzm@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Windows on PC for gaming, Linux on work laptop for development

[–] Nyanix@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

My partner and I have been on Manjaro for 3 years and never looked back

[–] dankm@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

FreeBSD 13 and Fedora KDE spin.

[–] Alex@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

Arch on desktop and laptop, debian on server.

Have to use Win 11 on my work laptop though

[–] fugepe@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Linux all the way, using OpenSuse

[–] jacfr0st@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Debian Unstable on my laptops and desktop, Debian Stable on my server, Windows 10 is dual booted on my desktop for gaming.

[–] EugeneNine@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Slackware Linux

[–] solstice@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I used to have strong opinions about operating systems. Installed various Linux builds and boot loaders to run different OS's. Etc

Now I use windows. I can't even tell you what version without looking. 10 I guess? Windows finally "just works" and I haven't had a BSOD in forever so I really don't care.

[–] markkdark@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Linux - from 2009 (laptop Arch + Sway / PC Endeavour OS and dual boot Kde and Gnome and rooted phone from 2010, from 2022 grapheneos. Privacy, security and freedom is most important for me.

[–] bluegandalf@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Fedora Workstation 38. Dual boot Windows on a separate drive, but this is solely for gaming. I know gaming on Linux has gotten better, but I want the best experience, which is much easier on Windows.

[–] GrappleHat@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago
[–] TheL3mur@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

EndeavourOS with GNOME!

[–] OldFartPhil@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Debian Stable (Bookworm)

[–] MooseBoys@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Windows 11 for my gaming PC. Debian running KDE Plasma for my work PC. Debian without a DE for my various home lab PCs.
