Windows 11 for gaming PC, Windows 10 for work laptop, Mac OS for personal laptop and Fedora for my old laptop. Also using both Ubuntu and Rocky Linux for servers. Steam Deck is still on Steam OS, Pi's use Raspberry Pi OS (aka raspbian). I don't really have a 'main' computer as it mostly depends where I am and what I'm doing.

I'm pretty comfortable with any OS at this point, even on mobile devices (both Android and iOS/iPad OS). I'm not a big fan of Windows but it pays the bills working in IT. I was in the process of migrating servers away from Ubuntu and onto Rocky (rip CentOS) although with the recent changes in Red Hat Land... We'll see how the rest of the migration progresses.

Ubuntu. For at least a decade now, I'm sure.

Windows 10 + linux mint dual booted on my desktop which is my current main, but I have windows 11 on my laptop that will become my main computer because college. Unfortunately windows 11 is required, i dont even know if stuff like solidworks that i will have to use would run on linux. I am also just more used to windows in general

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

I daily drove Linux for 15 years. OSX for about five, and now windows since WSL.

It's easier to get the Linux stuff I like in Windows than it is to get the window stuff I like in Linux. WSL provides me all the tools I need to manage my Linux servers in a reasonably performant package.

Desktop is Win 10, laptop is mint.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

MacOS of course, or Win11, or Garuda. Depends on how I feel or what I need to do. No it was not made by Apple.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Mac OS Ventura at work. Win10 at home

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

On my laptop I have Windows 11 installed since that’s what it came with. I’m sure I’ll migrate it to Linux eventually but it’s new.

On my desktop I mostly bounce between Ubuntu and Arch though just installed Pop OS today to see what the craze is all about.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My main system is running Windows 10

It works great for everything I need and as long as I don't enable the TPM in my motherboard settings I don't have to worry about it upgrading itself to Windows 11. Unlike when my system upgraded itself from 8.1 to 10. That was a hard one due to driver issues with my Bluetooth card at the time.

work and gaming Windows laptop macOS

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Windows 10. Have proxmox setup with Ubuntu and a few other operating systems.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Fedora and Debian Linux.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Main PC is a gaming rig with Windows 10, side PC for work is Linux Mint with a Win10 dual boot partition just in case something fucks up in Linux, but I haven't needed it in a while. I am not upgrading to Win11 for as long as I am able.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Arch right now. Probably going to give NixOS a try in the near future though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Using Fedora Workstation 38 KDE Spin on both my personal desktop and work laptop, with the ocasional Windows 10 VM for some shenanigans! Has been working great for me!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

macOS Ventura on the Studio and the MBP work machines and Windows 11 Pro on the living room gaming tower.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Kubuntu 22.04 on my laptop & Ubuntu Mate 22.04 on my desktop/server.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Windows 10 on my main (gaming) PC (honestly I would probably upgrade to 11 by now if I didn't need to do a BIOS update), and Ubuntu on my computer in the living room. I would try a different distro, but honestly whenever I need a guide to do something on Linux they're always written with Ubuntu and it's default commands and packages in mind so it's just easier to work with

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Windows 11 unfortunately. I haven't found a suitable way to jump to Linux.

Arch & Windows 10 on my desktop, OpenSuse Tumbleweed on the laptop.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Currently I'm dual booting, mainly Arch for the most part and Windows 10 for my games.

I can't use proton for most of my games since all of them are latency sensitive (rhythm games).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I have a home server and a laptop. Both run different versions of Ubuntu

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Arch Linux

Everything else just sucks (haven't tried LFS, NixOS and Gentoo. But for sure I kinda hate Debian and Fedora based distros as they kinda suck and I mostly hate Microsoft based Operating Systems as they suck the most)

change my mind.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

There are distros that I like but dont use because of the lack of convinience like Void Linux which is a great distro but doesn't have AUR.

Main desktop is Windows 10, Asus ROG Ally is Windows 11, and my phone is a Google Pixel 7 Pro, so Android. But I've definitely gone through tinkering around with different Linux distro phases over the last 20+ years!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Primary PC, runs windows 10. I have lots of various software development related programs which just works here. They don't work as well on linux.

All of my servers (Except blue iris), are running linux. Mostly ubuntu.

The other various gaming PCs around the house are running Ubuntu too. (Kubuntu to be more specific)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Windows 11 because the games I play don't support Linux.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Windows because of work and most of my steam games ran like crap on kubuntu with proton making them unplayable

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ubuntu for personal main laptop/desktop/servers.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Grub roulette between Ubuntu studio 23 something, nixos, and ancient Ubuntu studio

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Windows 11, because it was preinstalled and i just surf the web and stream from Netflix, Disney, Prime etc.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Solus Plasma, nothing really gives me such a home. I tried others but nope

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.
