Ubuntu for personal main laptop/desktop/servers.

For work Mac OS because they made me choose between Windows or Mac.

Windows 10 Pro on my main desktop but I do have an old laptop now running Zorin OS Lite which I use mostly when I'm on vacation or taking a long train.

I'm generally running a Linux distribution on my computer, as for which one - well I have a tendency to distro hop around quite a bit. As of yesterday I'm on Fedora Kinoite (though I still have my Arch partition around in case I feel I need to go exit/go back) and it has been pretty smooth thus far. I have regular Fedora KDE Workstation installed on my old Macbook Pro as well, so it makes sense I suppose!

I also have a Windows partition for when I want to play a game that either doesn't work on Linux at all (cough Destiny 2...) or doesn't work as well on Linux, at some point I'd like to completely erase it though.

I wish GeForce Now worked better on Linux as I'd just use that otherwise. But for some reason, every time I've tried a game streaming service on Linux (GFN, Stadia, Luna, even Shadow PC) it has always felt like it was performing worse than when I ran it in Windows (just to make sure there were no issues with say my network).

Mobile-wise I just use stock ("Google'd" - yes, I know...) Android on my Pixel. On my servers I tend to use RHEL based distros, but with the recent news about RedHat's shenanigans I'm wondering if I should be regretting my choice now, but I guess we'll see.

Hackintosh Mojave and Win10(just gaming) for my desktop and Linux Mint on my laptop(MBP 2012). Probably going to switch to Linux instead of Mojave for the desktop soon though. I've stayed far of away of "eco systems" and don't have any workflow that doesn't use open formats, so I'm very platform agonist.

Win10 for gaming and Manjaro for working.

I want to stop usibg Windows but I haven't made the move yet. I probly will when Win10 gets EOL.

[โ€“] IronDonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Windows 11. It works, all my stuff works, it doesn't bug me, and I don't have to fiddle with it for other things to work.

Garuda linux has been my goto on my personal computer and laptop for about 3 years now, basically since it was released on my work machine i use windows unfortunatly.

on my two little media servers, i run arch inside proxmox continers.

[โ€“] SeaJ@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Windows 11

Testing out Pop OS though and if it is not a pain in the butt, I'll be switching over to it.

Win10, but I swear if it asks me to try out Office 365 one more time, I am putting some Linux distro on there and not going back (except I sometimes need Windows due to work requirements).

Windows 11 Pro. It has been solid, though I am mildly annoyed that updates keep changing little things.
