Windows 10 primarily, dual boot with Linux Mint.
I'd like to say I want to switch to maining Linux when Win10 goes EOL, but I make music with LMMS as a hobby and tried to switch that to Linux to get hooking multiple tracks to a single plugin to work...but the VST I wanted to use with that didn't work at all on Linux, so I have recent memory of compatibility issues with Linux. I'd probably already be maining Linux if I didn't game.
I stuck with Windows 7 far longer than I should've. Windows 10 just rubbed me wrong with all the unrequested changes every feature update and privacy issues.
Then I found Windows 10 LTSC and I'm not going back.
Same! Finally wiped it and installed arch only like 6 months ago.. yikes.
Windows 11 and iOS. I could probably figure out what Iβm doing on Linux but donβt have the energy to bother. I have used a bunch of the debloter scripts to get rid of Microsoftβs garbage.
I use a heavily stripped down version of Windows 10. I plan to move to FedoraKDE when 10 is sunsetted though
MacOS. Used Archlinux for many years, but nowadays my pc is being used solely for sim racing.
Fedora 38
Vanilla OS but trying to learn about the differences between blendOS and Vanilla OS
KDE Ubuntu, I like it so much more than gnome. I've never tried another Linux and I have so much customization set up with with KDE that switching to somewhere else is really not appealing.
Windows, but I'm in the process of setting up arch Linux on a separate drive which will become my daily driver once I get it configured how I want it. I love bspwm and have had it on my laptop for a few years, but my main computer has a 3840x1080 monitor which is a bit more difficult to setup smoothly
arch Linux obviously because I'm a fucking genius ass hipster underwear fruitcake
I use Arch with XFCE. I also have a dual boot Manjaro as backup. Also XFCE.
Windows 11 for my Surface & Gaming PC. Probably gonna try out SurfaceLinux soon though since the Surface Pro 7 is starting to show its age.
But I have a Dell XPS 13 that's running Ubuntu Jammy now though. I alternate thru all 3 depending on the day.
Arch and Windows dual boot. Windows is only for certain games which don't work on linux because of anti-cheat. Arch is for everything else.
Manjaro Linux on Work PC and private Laptop.
Gaming PC 'runs' on Windows and I hate it
Lots of meming about Linux on Lemmy, but have you tried it for gaming? Unless you're playing certain competitive games with intrusive anti-cheat systems like Valorant, nowadays just about everything runs on it.
I'm mostly playing online so it really didn't work out for me so far but I'll keep trying :D
I'm mostly playing Diablo 4, some Steam Games and a little Game Pass. Am I ok on Linux? How is performance compared to windows?
From what I've heard, Diablo requires a few hoops to jump through to get Battle.net installed, but the game itself runs fine. I have no idea about game pass.
Linux. Got fed up with the Windows 11 release.
Windows 11 Pro with WSL2 Ubuntu
PowerShell is my preferred terminal shell on any OS and I've never found a Linux desktop I get along with (don't get me started on the bloated Fisher Price playcenter that is MacOS), so Windows 11 with Ubuntu in WSL is perfect for me.
Linux Mint 21.2. it's a solid OS and supports all the games I like to play. I started and ran a business on it as well, so I have no neee for windows anymore besides proprietary software and hardware. I just dual boot in those cases.
my work computer is a mac, my desktop runs arch linux (btw). It dual boots windows 10 but I havenβt used it in months, even then it was just because I had a thought I hadnβt updated it in a while. I can boot the windows partition in virtualbox in linux if needed.
Windows 11 Pro. It has been solid, though I am mildly annoyed that updates keep changing little things.
Artix Linux btw^2
debian testing
Windows 10, but I've been considering switching to Linux Manjaro as that's the Linux OS I was recommended. The main things that are stopping me though is that I'm lazy about backing up all my files, and I don't want to redownload a million different things.
