Win10 on my gaming rig for compatibility and because I'm comfortable with the usage of Windows. Arch Linux with docker containers on the ol' server

Windows 11. And I hate it.

Yes, I did try Linux. I had a great time. But unfortunately my Windows installation always breaks whenever I dual boot it with Linux.

Did you try installing linux on a partition

Windows 10. Flirting with mint

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago (5 children)

Which one?

Windows, primarily, because I need shit to just function. And there's no competition to OneNote and Office in Open Source land.

But I have multiple VM's and containers running lots of Linux stuff - on Linux boxes because it just can't be beat as a Host. Even VMware is Linux-based.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I installed Linux on two Windows laptops so they would function better.

And there's no competition to OneNote and Office in Open Source land.

I'm curious what is missing between OneNote and something like Obsidian or any of the other notes apps.

I completely understand office though, i find OnlyOffice good enough that i run it even on my Windows setups but I can imagine there being features, keybindings, etc that are not present in any of the alternatives. I've also seen a lot of people switch to using Google Docs exclusively since it helps with collaboration anyway, but I hate how poorly it runs...

because I need shit to just function.

Yeah some things are just not there yet too, like VR... So understandable

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 2 points 6 months ago

I don't know myself but all I know is that OneNote fucking sucks. It's the lamest most boring cloud attached fucking notepad app ever.

Only boring ass project managers use that shit, and there are dozens of better note applications than OneNote, but these people won't even give them a try because it would require them to admit that onenote sucks.

Fedora on my desktop and Linux Mint Debian on my laptop.

There's been some ups and downs with Fedora, but nothing too serious at the end of the day and I do quite like it. LMDE has been as stable as a rock and I haven't had any issues with it. I don't really use my laptop that often and its mostly just for web browsing/other simple things.

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

lol it definitely doesn't get the attention the Ubuntu based Mint gets, but I quite like it for what I use it for

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

alr and true

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Kubuntu on the desktops, Linux Mint on the laptops.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Win 10. But I have Hyper-V enabled so I guess it is technically Hyper-V as the os and windows as the guest os.

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago

Debian Stable. I have a W10 partition but I don't boot into it very often. We're talking about a few times per quarter.

[–] socphoenix@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago

Arch on a Chromebook, macOS on a MacBook Air, and FreeBSD on the desktop.

[–] DivineDev@kbin.run 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I recently switched from Windows 10 to Nobara Linux and it's amazing, right now I'm playing gta 4 which only required some tinkering to work without issues. Highly recommended

Me too, love it

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Windows 11 on my Surface Pro, Windows 10 on my main computer and bedroom computer (the smartest tv is a dumb tv connected to a cheap minipc), and Linux Mint on my server and old laptop.
