We're an all-linux household.

  • Endeavoros on my gaming desktop
  • Garuda on my Framework laptop
  • Kubuntu on my partner's Framework laptop
  • Endeavoros on my server. Plus a handful of Pis and appliances.

NixOS, because all of the config in my system is declared in a few files on GitHub and it has a huge package repo.

Also it has all of the other advantages of a Linux distro, like privacy, speed and customisability.

Linux because it runs fast and does what I need it to.

[-] Jaximus@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

As a non technical user that has switched to Ubuntu from Windows, Linux is light years ahead. Any os without a decent package manager like apt or flatpak is unusable for me and that's without mentioning the ads...

I use ArchLinux BTW, because

  1. It's very minimal, no bloatware
  2. AUR
    ~~3. I feel superior~~
  3. It just works™*

I used windows for years but i'm Mac now.

Mainly switched because I have an iphone, apple watch, and airpods so it just seemed to make sense.

It does hurt browsing steam now though. CONSTANTLY finding tons of games I want to play and then they're windows only. ):

used a chromebook for a while, that just sucked all around.

Linyx because it doent get in my way unlike windows, and because I like FOSS. Arch linux in particular, but anything is better than windows or macos. (well, not chromeOS)

Windows 11:

  • Games and every Software I need just works
  • Everything else runs in the Browser anyway
[-] Skuldul@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Arch Linux for day to day/work, and windows 11 for gaming, or work if needed.

FreeBSD because it just works. I like the consistency of it.

[-] Borgzilla@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I use Debian because it's what I've been using for the last twenty-two years.

[-] tiwenty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Btw I use Archlinux

I switched to it 50% for the AUR: I regularly install softwares not from the classic repos, and the AUR is a godsend compared to cloning a Github, make install and thinking about updating it. The rest is a mix of the ArchWiki, its lightness and openness.

Strictly Arch Linux since 2008

[-] ngoomie@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

Fedora! Have been super not a fan of Windows for years now so I avoid it hardcore when I can.

Linux in general is a lot easier to set up programming environments on, and also just generally it's a lot more flexible when it comes to customization, which is definitely important when you're a big picky bitchbaby like I am.

Fedora specifically I like because there's something I just really like about RHEL-related distros (to the point that i use Rocky Linux on my server also). They feel really polished and dnf is probably my favourite package manager of all the ones I've tried so far. I do have a few issues with it, and I miss having access to the AUR when I used various Arch-baseds over the years, but all in all I'm very happy with it and I don't see myself switching distros for desktop use any time soon.

Windows 10 because I don't want to deal with the hassle of anything else.

[-] catshit_dogfart@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I'm still using Windows 10 on my personal computer. Oh I'll probably have to upgrade someday, some game or other program will come out with exclusivity of some kind and I'll eventually install Windows 11. But for the most part, I don't want to fuck with it, everything works and I really just don't want the hassle.

Running Linux Mint on an old laptop, mostly because it's too old to decently run Windows 10. Don't use it for much, mostly troubleshooting things.

At work the laptops are Windows 10 and I don't think there's a push to update. Of course all the servers are Redhat Enterprise Linux, and that's where the majority of my work takes place.

Artix Linux, cuz systemd isn’t minimal enough for my insanity, and I don’t have time to compile Gentoo rn

[-] visnudeva@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Archcraft with hyprland because it works exactly the way i want it to.

[-] zephyrvs@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

M2 Macbook Air for personal use and my freelance work and an AMD Ryzen 5600 with a Radeon 6700 XT with Ubuntu for ML/AI hobby work and Windows 11 for some minor gaming here and there.

Chromebook because I just dont fucking care anymore.

[-] mo_ztt@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Dude, except for gaming, Chromebook is the unironically the best laptop platform I have found. If you get one that's not cheaped-out on its hardware, then it does the simple stuff quickly, quite well, and without any extra nonsense, and then you install Crostini and you have a full-featured Linux environment with excellent driver support. If you want gaming you're screwed, but for everything else it's clearly superior IMO.

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

I was 100 into Stadia for gaming on my laptop before it was axed. I'm still bitter about that.

[-] Bo7a@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago

Xubuntu because I am lazy these days.
