For everything but VR, Arch Linux with KDE Plasma. For VR, Windows 10

I've played VR on Linux before with my Vive but it's definitely not feature complete yet. I just got Knuckles for it though so I've been using the Vive with them a lot recently, so I might start trying it more often. The lack of desktop view in SteamVR on Linux is really annoying though (I got it to work once, but that was the only thing that worked at the time lol)

My partner and I have been on Manjaro for 3 years and never looked back

Debian Bookworm, I like to live on the edge. The extremely stable edge.

Kubuntu on my Laptop, Windows 11/KDE Neon dualboot on my gaming pc.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Debian Unstable on my laptops and desktop, Debian Stable on my server, Windows 10 is dual booted on my desktop for gaming.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Pop OS from the start of the year. The Steam Deck showed be his far Linux gaming has come, no issues running the things I play. Glad to be rid of Windows

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 10, which came preinstalled and is pretty much only used for games at this times.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

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

Fedora Workstation 38. Dual boot Windows on a separate drive, but this is solely for gaming. I know gaming on Linux has gotten better, but I want the best experience, which is much easier on Windows.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

Proxmox.

I spin up VM's and pass through my graphics card. If I'm studying I'll but into kbuntu. If I'm playing or streaming video games, windows 10. I also have several VMs for different purposes. A Win10 with quicken for tracking family expenses. A Proxmox backup server to house backup images from my primary Proxmox cluster, using three old PCs. As an example.

Windows 11, but I'm currently playing around with different Linux distros trying to see if I can finally get rid of windows for good.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Windows, Linux on my servers and Raspberry Pi machines. Linux on desktop is oh-so-close, but it's been oh-so-close since the early 2000s!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Q4OS, a very user-friendly Debian-based OS.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ubuntu mainly and Windows mainly for streaming. Discord lags for some reason when I stream on Linux. I also have Fedora and Manjaro on my second/third comps but that wasnโ€™t asked..

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Windows 10 but I do most of my work in an ubuntu 22.04 VM in virtualbox. But use windows for games and casual use.

Server runs ubuntu 20.04 server which has a bunch of services for my network and my main storage.

Laptop runs ubuntu 22.04 desktop. It's an old laptop so I'm using ubuntu to extend its life.

I'm not sure which one is my main. I have an old MacBook Air, haven't updated the OS in a long time because I got tired of MacOS becoming merged with iOS. I have a desktop that dual boots between Windows 10 and Ubuntu. I use them all about the same amount. Honestly, I use my phone more than either.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

FreeBSD 13 and Fedora KDE spin.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Win11 on bare metal (for games) with VMware workstation running Silverblue and Arch in distrobox. Most of my time is spent in VMs when not gaming. Did the dual boot thing for a while but it got annoying.

Windows on desktop, Mac on laptop (altho likely switching to Framework with windows soon)

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Windows, because gaming. Sticking with 10 as long as possible (LTSC), maybe 12 will be worth upgrading to

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Arch/KDE on my laptop which is the tinkering machine, Pop!OS and Windows on the desktop that other people use and I'm not allowed to break.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Windows 11 for my gaming and work laptops.

Ubuntu for everything else.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Windows 10 Pro, I'm waiting for end of life in a couple of years to migrate to Linux. Depending on how it goes, it'll probably be a one way trip.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

NixOS. I distrohopped for years but now I've landed and it has been several years since I felt any urge to explore alternatives (maybe with the exception of Guix, which is basically the same idea but everything is in Guile Scheme (Lisp)).

I'm never going back to a mutable OS if I can help it.

KDE Neon. It's Ubuntu LTS with the latest KDE development stuff.

I generally dislike Ubuntu because they have some really odd breakages and bad defaults, but Debian just gets too out of date eventually. I do use Debian for anything that needs Linux and isn't my main desktop, though (and *BSD if it just needs UNIX).

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Debian & Gentoo for personal

Ubuntu & Mint for work

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Windows 10 enterprise msdn. Unfortunately it looks like eol is pretty soon. I'm not liking windows 11 at all. Surprisingly this time pro and enterprise have the same eol dates, or have I read it wrong. Microsoft usually supports enterprise for a bit longer.

LTSC is to 2027 but I think there maybe some compatibility issues as it's not really designed for being a desktop OS. Might give that a whirl a bit later.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I use arch on my laptops, debian on my servers, and I recommend fedora to others. I'm also nix/guix curious.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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