I use Unraid as my host OS with a Windows 11 gaming vm. If you say at my computer you would never know it's not native. I can shutdown/reboot windows and it doesn't affect any of my home server applications, including a mastodon instance.
Win 11 it just works for me
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.
Linux (Arch).
I can't stand Windows anymore. So much crap that I don't want and can't get rid of.
Windows.. for gaming on my desktop and Photoshop on my laptop.. I know there's alternatives, but not without compromise
Debian 12 with GNOME. I'm boring and just want something that works. :)
Windows 11 as my everyday os
But everything around me is Linux (proxmox running Debian LXC) or BSD (opnsense, truenas)
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.
FreeBSD 13 and Fedora KDE spin.
Dual boot Windows 11 and EndeavourOS on KDE
xubuntu cuz im too lazy rn to configure anything else than vim
Linux all the way, using OpenSuse
Ubuntu. For at least a decade now, I'm sure.
I use Gentoo because it's quite customizable. What's more, building a whole system from source is more secureπ.
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.
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
EndeavourOS with GNOME!
Kubuntu, but strongly considering Pop OS.
Mac OS Ventura at work. Win10 at home
GNU/Linux.
I distrohop a not but right now im using Garuda. I also use different Debian variants in other computers.
On my laptop I have Windows 11 installed since thatβs what it came with. Iβm sure Iβll migrate it to Linux eventually but itβs new.
On my desktop I mostly bounce between Ubuntu and Arch though just installed Pop OS today to see what the craze is all about.
I daily drove Linux for 15 years. OSX for about five, and now windows since WSL.
It's easier to get the Linux stuff I like in Windows than it is to get the window stuff I like in Linux. WSL provides me all the tools I need to manage my Linux servers in a reasonably performant package.
Installed: Windows 10, Windows 7, Lubuntu LTS, ZealOS. VMs for MacOS, Android-x86, and Haiku.
MacOS of course, or Win11, or Garuda. Depends on how I feel or what I need to do. No it was not made by Apple.
Windows 10 on my main computer, Mint on my HTPC which is getting a lot more use.
Desktop is Win 10, laptop is mint.
Windows 10. Have proxmox setup with Ubuntu and a few other operating systems.
Fedora and Debian Linux.
Arch right now. Probably going to give NixOS a try in the near future though.
Main PC is a gaming rig with Windows 10, side PC for work is Linux Mint with a Win10 dual boot partition just in case something fucks up in Linux, but I haven't needed it in a while. I am not upgrading to Win11 for as long as I am able.
macOS Ventura on the Studio and the MBP work machines and Windows 11 Pro on the living room gaming tower.
Kubuntu 22.04 on my laptop & Ubuntu Mate 22.04 on my desktop/server.
Windows 10 on my main (gaming) PC (honestly I would probably upgrade to 11 by now if I didn't need to do a BIOS update), and Ubuntu on my computer in the living room. I would try a different distro, but honestly whenever I need a guide to do something on Linux they're always written with Ubuntu and it's default commands and packages in mind so it's just easier to work with
Primary PC, runs windows 10. I have lots of various software development related programs which just works here. They don't work as well on linux.
All of my servers (Except blue iris), are running linux. Mostly ubuntu.
The other various gaming PCs around the house are running Ubuntu too. (Kubuntu to be more specific)
Windows 11 unfortunately. I haven't found a suitable way to jump to Linux.
Arch & Windows 10 on my desktop, OpenSuse Tumbleweed on the laptop.
Currently I'm dual booting, mainly Arch for the most part and Windows 10 for my games.
I can't use proton for most of my games since all of them are latency sensitive (rhythm games).
