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

Linux openSUSE

Heavy gamer here. My main Distro is EndeavourOS, came from Linux Mint months ago. My homelab runs on Ubuntu Server.

Linux (Arch with KDE Plasma)

Endeavour OS

Windows 11

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.

Manjaro

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

Windows 10 Home

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

Fedora

Kubuntu FTW

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

Nixos on my PC, NixOS on my laptop, NixOS on my raspberry pi

Also steamOS on my steam deck , don't see any reason to change that

I also have windows dual booted on my laptop as a secondary os but I boot it around once every couple weeks at most

Gentoo on my desktop, 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.

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.

ArcH, moving to NixOS

Pop_OS!

Windows 10. No idea why anyone is using Win11.

I've tried Linux every few years for the last few decades and it's never been at a point where I can switch. I am in the process of trying again, however.

Started today trying to dual boot it on a Windows laptop that has a boot SSD and data HDD. Tried resizing the HDD and installing Nobara and can't get the machine to boot into Grub (the suggested fix on their site didn't work, possibly because of the two physical drives). Searching for a solution was fruitless and I'm honestly over it already. I want an OS, not a hobby.

The very definition of insanity right here. There is ALWAYS something that doesn't work and I'm not a fucking idiot but I'm not a developer either. Linux fans act like people on Windows have no excuse not to switch but I've been trying since the 90s and Linux just does everything it can to frustrate me. God knows how someone who's not tech savvy is supposed to figure anything out. /rant

I have dual boot Manjaro/Windows, but honestly I haven't used the windows partition in two years except for the very occasional moment I need to check if a document format is alright to send to someone, or anyone else not familiar with Linux needs to do something.

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!

Pop OS on my System 76 desktop (Thelio Mira). Couldn't be happier with it.

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.

Fedora, pretty much everything I want from a Linux distro and desktop OS, fits my needs perfectly and what I would recommend most people.

Linux. Pop!_OS

Manjaro on my PC and Fedora on my laptop.

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.

Slackware Linux

I use Gentoo. It's nice and comfy and I can actually control what I want to do on there.

Insert compile firefox meme

Fedora, used Arch for many years but decided to try it out and have really enjoyed it. After Red Hats RHEL decisions I might swap to arch or nix os.

Win 11 it just works for me

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

Linux, I like my main boxen to be stable. Unlike my Windows game box.

mac for working, windows for gaming, linux for serving

Windows 10 but I use WSL for VS code and docker.

I love Linux, 20+ years I’d use, but the desktop experience is inferior to Win/Mac in my opinion. I do hope that changes though.

Windows 10 (Home) until end of support, but I'll have to look into getting into Linux, as, among other things, Windows 11 having an in-built AI cemented to me that I will never ever be using it.

Manjaro, because it's up to date while easy to use.

macOS, and after having to use virtual desktops on windows for work, I appreciate macs spaces implementation so much more.

I have windows 11 on my gaming computer and that’s fine with a third party clipboard manager, and powertoys.

Windows 10 in the office even with powertoys and a third party clipboard manager still annoys me.

The virtual desktop includes all monitors as one desktop. If you switch one screen to a different desktop it switches all of them. On my Mac I can switch per screen with a swipe.

Also the virtual desktop overview is laggy so moving windows between virtual desktops is a pain. Furthermore in that overview you can only move windows between the same monitors virtual desktop, you can move across monitors for whatever reason.

EndeavourOS on desktop and laptop. It's been working great for years
