Right now use Windows 10 on my PC. Not interested in 11 at all. I've been thinking about buying an old chromebook and tossing Linux (probably Mint) on it. A friend made one of those and I thought it was really neat. Just gotta find the time, I suppose.

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

macOS because I own a MacBook.

If not, Arch Linux. Used it for years prior to buying my MacBook.

Windows on my PC (ugh) and Fedora on my laptop, been thinking of moving the PC to linux mint, but still a bit hesitant.

Windows 10 on my main box, Ubuntu on my two media servers and OSX on my laptop

This week it's arch, though I do dual boot win11 specifically for iracing and iracing alone as that doesn't let me run it under proton.

Win11 for work laptop. Wn11 on my personal desktop, with WSL. I use Debian on my personal laptop and a number of "servers" running Debian.

Windows 10. Why? Because 80% of my creative software doesn't work on Linux and I dislike Apple products.

I adore Linux, but at present, I use Windows 11 on all my devices.

My main PC is primarily for gaming, with an NVIDIA GPU (which whilst much better on Linux now, still isn't perfect), so Windows works better there.

For work, also Windows 11, since I'm a software dev, creating Windows software with .NET, ASP.NET, deploying to Windows machines, IIS, using MS SQL server etc. All in Visual Studio.

The Windows ecosystem just... works better for my use-cases, regardless of how much I do like Linux!

I dual boot Windows and Fedora on my personal desktop. To keep gaming and productivity separate.

Personal laptop swaps between Fedora, PopOS, and Endeavor.

Work is Fedora or PopOS on my XPS and MacOS on my M1 (not by choice, but Linux for Apple Silicon is not completed).

Wife's computer is Windows since she games and does school work.

Currently trying out NixOS, just switched from Gentoo. Interesting experience so far, will see if the switch will be permanent.

Immutable system, completely separated and well-defined development environments per project, and overall nix is pretty nice.

Arch Linux (old laptop) and Windows 10 (on my gaming PC, at least until it reaches end of life, then it's all gonna be linux)

#garudalinux #archlinux , cause I have full control over everything on my system. Everything else gets put in a virtual machine using KVM.

Void linux with swaywm. Its blazingly fast and I lime to tinker

Ubuntu cinnamon on my shared computer. MABOX Linux on my fuck-around Chromebook.

Laptop: popos Reason: 2 hours battery on windows, 8-12 hours on popos due to sleep issues on windows and Nvidia GPU not turning off on windows.

Desktop: Windows, too many apps without relevant replacements.

Servers: Linux or bsd(depending on vm/reason)

Windows 11.

I just require Windows for a lot of software. The thing holding me back from switching to a Linux distro, used to be Adobe Premiere and Adobe Photoshop. I have since moved to DaVinci resolve, and I also purchased the Affinity Suite.

Now the problem is that the Affinity Suite doesn't support Linux either..

It's getting exhausting trying to make Linux work for me, and I already have to give up a lot of stuff, and make compromises, so I'm just sticking with Windows.

Linux Mint on my main computer, and I've been using my old laptop for distro hopping but I think I might settle on MX Linux.

I have 2 laptops (work and personal) and both run Arch Linux.

Reason:

• Rolling release
• AUR
• ArchWiki

Windows. I have windows apps that I need to use at work, as well as MS Office functionality that is not well supported on MacOS. So at home I use the same OS, to avoid getting annoyed due to changes in the operating systems. I develop for Linux-based docker containers, though.

Ubuntu Mate on two main PCs. One running windows ten for TurboTax 😭

Win 10, explicitly because I run CAD software (Autodesk Inventor specifically at home) and the linux compatibility workarounds like wine have not worked properly the last few times I have tried them. I could dual boot but I just don't feel like putting the time in to set it up and use it anymore.

Fedora and Arch right now. Fedora is what I main and Arch is just for ricing and testing things. Been trying out VanillaOS recently and I really like it. I use Void and Gentoo on occasion when I feel like tinkering.

I'm a programmer and what you'd probably call a computer nerd. I used Windows XP, Vista and 7 until 2016, when I then decided to give Linux (Mint+Cinnamon) a try. Loved it so much, my dual boot days were short and I quickly started using the penguin OS as my sole daily driver. After some very traditional distro hopping, I landed on Manjaro KDE, and have been a happy user for some years.
From an end-user PoV, Manjaro is great because of the frequent rolling-release package updates, nice community support and kernel and driver tools (the mhwd ones), while KDE Plasma is by far my favourite desktop environment, being simple by default but very powerful when needed. GNOME has a more Apple-y look to it, which I know is quite attractive as well, but since I'm more of a power user, KDE stuff is a no-brainer. Other DEs and tilling WMs are also nice, but I'm so happy with KDE I'm not going to switch anytime soon.
