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

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

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.

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.

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

Main PC is Win 10 for gaming and audio production. MacOS for work.

[-] flakpanzer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

Windows 10. No idea why anyone is using Win11.

I've tried Linux every few years for the last few decades and it's never been at a point where I can switch. I am in the process of trying again, however.

Started today trying to dual boot it on a Windows laptop that has a boot SSD and data HDD. Tried resizing the HDD and installing Nobara and can't get the machine to boot into Grub (the suggested fix on their site didn't work, possibly because of the two physical drives). Searching for a solution was fruitless and I'm honestly over it already. I want an OS, not a hobby.

The very definition of insanity right here. There is ALWAYS something that doesn't work and I'm not a fucking idiot but I'm not a developer either. Linux fans act like people on Windows have no excuse not to switch but I've been trying since the 90s and Linux just does everything it can to frustrate me. God knows how someone who's not tech savvy is supposed to figure anything out. /rant

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

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

I don't think there's a single "main" computer anymore. My home computer is Linux Mint Cinnamon. My mobile computer (which I use nearly as much as my desktop OS) is Android.

My next smartphone is going to allow installing a privacy-respecting custom ROM (because Linux on mobile really isn't there yet). Once I do that, I'll focus on f-droid apps only. Something to look forward to.

[-] Lolors17@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Fedora, first I just went with it to try it, but now I stick with it. It's great because things just work, and I haven't come across problems I didn't know how to fix.

[-] torbjoern@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Debian Bookworm KDE - though I have to admit that it's not my final destination when it comes to distro hopping, I guess. Currently thinking about giving Zorin OS a go.

Usually Linux Mint and Windows 11, but recently installed Manjaro on my Linux partitions to check it out.

[-] Nyanix@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

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

macOS, and after having to use virtual desktops on windows for work, I appreciate macs spaces implementation so much more.

I have windows 11 on my gaming computer and that’s fine with a third party clipboard manager, and powertoys.

Windows 10 in the office even with powertoys and a third party clipboard manager still annoys me.

The virtual desktop includes all monitors as one desktop. If you switch one screen to a different desktop it switches all of them. On my Mac I can switch per screen with a swipe.

Also the virtual desktop overview is laggy so moving windows between virtual desktops is a pain. Furthermore in that overview you can only move windows between the same monitors virtual desktop, you can move across monitors for whatever reason.

I dualboot Windows 10 Pro and Fedora 38 KDE Spin on my home desktop.

I use Fedora for programming and to administer my other systems (Minecraft server, NAS, Raspberry Pi), and Windows for gaming.

I plan to move gaming to Linux too, but so far I've been too lazy to make the jump. I'm also not sure if I should go with an extra install of Arch or just try to do it on my Fedora.

[-] Xepher@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Windows 11 running on my laptop

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

[-] pixelprimer@lemmy.world 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.

[-] timkenhan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Debian & Gentoo for personal

Ubuntu & Mint for work

[-] jacfr0st@lemmy.ml 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.

[-] weew@lemmy.ca 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

[-] ttk@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

mac for working, windows for gaming, linux for serving
