Linux Mint. When it first came out, it was the first distro where sound and wifi worked out of the box on fresh installations by shipping with restricted drivers. It made installations so easy that I just stopped trying other distros.

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

[-] Invalid@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I duel boot. I use Mint 99% of the time & Win10 for that 1% of software/games I can't get working.

[-] badzok@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

As a webdev, I'm loving Win11 with WSL2. The new Terminal is great and Powertools make organizing windows on my ultrawide easy. I've had to use exclusively Macs for a while for my last company and was not really a fan.

Debian Linux (stable)

[-] Digester@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Windows 10 on my main machine and Lubuntu on my home server

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

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.

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

[-] invertedderriere@waveform.social 4 points 2 years ago

MacOS. Looks like there's tens of us on Lemmy. Tens!

[-] thepiguy@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Enlil@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Linux openSUSE

[-] Kleysley@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Linux (Arch with KDE Plasma)

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

[-] Hell@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Endeavour OS

[-] DAC_Protogen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Fedora Silverblue. But since Fedora aims to include telemetry (although in a reasonable way) by version 40, I'll switch soon to something else. I feel it might be time to give BSD an honest attempt.

Currently on ArcoLinux on both my desktop and laptop (although they both have windows installs that I basically never use except for the rare case I need windows software or games)

Win 10 but I'm craving to install mint/endeavour.

[-] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Linux mint is great for a stable OS afaik, endeavour is excelent for cutting edge packages and AUR.

Depends on preference and needs so while I want to recommend Arch based, I shouldn't as I don't know if its the wrong decision.

[-] dotmatrix@lemmy.ftp.rip 4 points 2 years ago

Win 11 because of games, music production and other windows-only tools (TIHI). Some flavor of Debian everywhere else.

[-] Alkider@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Rocking Endeavour OS right now. It's been working well for me so far.

[-] daddyjones@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Arch Linux with Openbox

[-] minthenry@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago

Linux Mint with KDE Plasma.

[-] czarrie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Currently Arch with KDE, switched recently from Gnome. Probably gonna swap to something a little more basic for the desktop environment, it's pretty but in the words of Peter Griffin, "It insists on itself"

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!

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

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.

Fedora Linux. I was skeptical at the beginning but I am glad I switched from Windows.

[-] demesisx@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

EndeavourOS

[-] TurianHammer@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Devgard@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Windows 11, but I want to eventually go back to Linux, waiting on better fractional scaling then I think I can head back.

[-] closure1170@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] mundane@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Popos on my personal laptop and Debian on my workstation at the office.

[-] iguanajuice@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Whenever someone types PopOS as Popos, I can't help but read it as Poopoos

[-] nom_nom@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

MacOS with a tiling window manager for work, Win10 on PC for gaming and Linux on all servers. I would run Linux for work if Office, Adobe and esp. Outlook ran on it, MacOS with Yabai + SKHD is the closest I can get to a Linux experience while still being functional for work.

[-] rayman30@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] shebpamm@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Dual boot NixOS for productivity and Windows for games. I do also have a macbook that I rarely use.

I've been using windows for years now and I don't think I'll ever switch to another OS, Linux or otherwise.

[-] Evrala@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I use Garuda Gnome Linux. It's setup nearly how I would set up an arch install from scratch, just working out of the box. I've done a lot of distro hopping in the past year, but I keep going back to Garuda.

[-] lemba@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

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