Windows 10. My previous effort to try Linux didn't pan out and now I just want the stability and predictability of Windows. I might try it again down the road.

Used to have a Macbook but nowaday I don't like mac for anything I do.

• Gaming PC - Dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 11. Arch for everything (literally) and Windows 11 for VR only. I even share the same Steam library between 2 OSes on separate SSD, formatted as btrfs.
• Work laptop - Arch linux (because I can, we have strict managed-Windows system policy lol).
• Personal laptop - Arch Linux.

All of them using KDE.

Windows.

Even when I was working ON UNIX (like, with people making the OS), we were all windows+vanDyke+Mozilla, because windows was the most reliable platform for that.

Haven't changed, even if I'm waiting for ReactOS eagerly. It's win10+putty+SeaMonkey until then.

I use Arch on my laptop, gaming PC, and my arcade machine. I hate windows so much and haven't used it at home in years.

Ubuntu

Pop OS for about 5 years. Very, very satisfied with the experience.

Pop!_OS.

I have tried many Linux distros since I finally abandoned Windows for good, but in spite of the fact that I prefer Fedora over the other kernels, Pop!_OS as a distro, along with Pop Shell, is just everything I've ever wanted in an OS and all else just feels inferior.

I'm a dev, though, so it would make sense that an OS made by devs for devs would be my cuppa.

Most users won't need 90% of what I, specifically, love about the OS, but it's also the first distro I've found where everything I want to use just works out of the box without spending hours troubleshooting, and that's not nothing.

fedora 38

PopOS

Window 11... Easy to play I confess

Linux, baby!

Windows, until a week ago. Now switched to Mac os (I despised apple for 20 years)

Microsoft hijacking my chrome tabs and opening them in edge on reboot was the last straw. Also, I bought an Xbox series x, and cloud play to my Xbox won't work on their own os. So selling my Xbox too and switched to ps5.

Used to use Linux, but I feel for the tasks I do, Mac os is more maintainable long term

macOS on the laptop (Apple Silicon is amazing!) and Fedora on the desktop. Just moved Windows 11 to a separate disk to rot. Finally all-UNIX!

NixOS (Linux)

As a dev, the nix-shell environments are very useful as I don't have to fully install every package to use it. My system configuration is also represented in a single, declarative file which is a dream. I can copy the config to a new system, run nixos-rebuild and my entire system configuration is on the new system.

Arch Linux with KDE

Arch Linux + Sway

Fedora

I use Arch BTW (w KDE Plasma)

Linux full-time on all of my machines since 2007 (various distros over the years, of course).

MacOS

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with Plasma, but once I get a new-iah PC I'll probably get back to my beloved Gentoo. :-)

Linux Mint for desktops. Debian for servers.

Windows regretfully. Only because of certain games who's anticheat won't work on Linux with proton and such. Waiting for the day I can get rid of it!

Debian

As a Linux user since 1996 or thereabouts I've tried most distributions. I've been a hardcore Gentoo ricer and "I'm using Arch btw..". But these days stability is my main requirement and Debian fills that need perfect.

Not proud to say Windows LTSC, but at least it's better than retail Windows.

Though I have run FreeBSD on certain systems like for building embedded software at the hobby level, but that's not something I use all the time. It's my favorite OS though, elegance in its design.

Debian. On every computer with a physical keyboard. And all servers. Mainly because of philosophy, stability, release cycle (2 years for major updates which I find neither too longnkor too short) and having gotten (is that proper english lol) used to it.

I love that everyone saying Windows feels like they gotta justify why they’re using it lol. I’m running Windows 10 on my desktop and Windows 11 on my laptop.

Arch Linux. Been using Linux exclusively for about 10 years now, in various flavours, and will never go back at this point.

Fedora Silverblue. The ultimate bulletproof no-babysitting Linux experience!

Granted, I do fit into a fairly specific niche of users who don't have any hard attachment to Windows or macOS. I'm a programmer (Linux is great for dev work, ever wonder why WSL exists?) and all the games I play are either native or work great under Proton.

PopOS

I've been on Mint with Cinnamon for the last 4 years or so but before that was a long stint of Ubuntu/Gnome after distro hopping. I am considering moving upstream to Debian or switching back to Arch in the future.

I’ve used Debian Linux as my primary home desktop since 2005 and at work since 2008. I’ve never had a job that required a Windows machine and at this point it’s a deal breaker for me.

I specifically use Debian stable. In my first decade of using Linux I wanted the bleeding edge, cool stuff, but for me nothing interesting has happened to my machine since 2015.

I use arch Linux just fyi

EndeavourOS on my gaming laptop. I do productivity, Rust programming and gaming, mostly GuildWars2 and various RPGs. Waiting for Baldur Gate 3 !

I use MX Linux. I stopped using Ubuntu because of snaps.

Arch Linux, since 2012. Before that, I ran Lubuntu, Ubuntu and some other stuff since ~2004.

MacOS - I've got a Macbook Pro that I do all my work and personal stuff on and then I have my Windows 10 PC that I use almost exclusively for gaming.

It's just practically easier for me to work with MacOS.

I do graphical design work.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

Switched to Linux - Fedora, PopOs, Mint 5-6 years ago, never looked back. But there is 3 months gap, when I built my PC I installed windows on it and used for some time. The worst computing experience I had in last 5 years.
