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.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Manjaro on my PC and Fedora on my laptop.

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

Linux openSUSE

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Linux Mint. Never needed anything else, and hopefully it'll stay this way..

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Linux (Arch with KDE Plasma)

Debian Linux (stable)

Windows 10 on my main machine and Lubuntu on my home server

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

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.

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)

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Currently win10 but am definitely getting outta that ecosystem in favor of a Linux distro like Linux Mint next upgrade. If not mint, then I don't know.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Linux mint is great for a stable OS afaik, endeavour is excelent for cutting edge packages and AUR.

Depends on preference and needs so while I want to recommend Arch based, I shouldn't as I don't know if its the wrong decision.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Manjaro Linux, also for my gaming. Booted up my secondary Windows drive yesterday on my main computer, just to update it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a webdev, I'm loving Win11 with WSL2. The new Terminal is great and Powertools make organizing windows on my ultrawide easy. I've had to use exclusively Macs for a while for my last company and was not really a fan.

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

I use Garuda Gnome Linux. It's setup nearly how I would set up an arch install from scratch, just working out of the box. I've done a lot of distro hopping in the past year, but I keep going back to Garuda.

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For personal stuff (mostly development and general browsing) I use PopOS, have been using it for 4 years now with no problems whatsoever.

For work I use macOS because forced.

Will never use a Windows machine again. I tried my wife's Windows 11 machine, and it fucking SUCKS!!

For gaming I have a Steam Deck which is SteamOS.

Linux all the way!

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

Windows 10 Home

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Windows 11. I'd love to switch to Linux but I have a few edge cases that keep me from doing that right now. I made the mistake of buying Forza Horizon 5 on the Windows store instead of steam. I know I can move my save over to the steam version and rebuy it, but I got the premium version and have no idea what DLC I need to buy again when I look at the store page. And I have an oculus quest which I use with Oculus Link to play PCVR games. There's ALVR to do it on Linux, but compared to link it's not going to cut it for me. Once I have a new VR headset (AKA when valve replaces the Index) and Forza horizon 6 is out/5 is EOL I'm more than happy to make the jump.
