Fedora, because it's constantly up to date and it f a s t (except when updating)

Archcraft. It's beautiful.

Windows, because of gaming, otherwise I'd use a Debian based distro or Fedora.

I use Debian on my servers.

I use MacOS and Windows 10 on my PC. Its a hackintosh. I prefer MacOS for general computing and photography editing in Lightroom, but I game on Windows.

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago

Windows 11 and Arch. Primarily the former. It just works, and I need it for work and playing co-op games with friends.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Windows 10 because I can't upgrade to 11 for some arbitrary reason. I tried Ubuntu years ago but it was so much work trying to get it to just work that it really put me off. So unless the Linux ecosystem improved and by a wide margin and it has decent support for the software I use, I don't think I'm changing anytime soon.

Windows 11. It works better on my new machine even thogh I had to do extra steps to suppress the tracker and such.

[-] jatt@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

What did you use to surpress trackers?

I have a Mac. All my work stuff is Mac-based, but I Bootcamp Windows 10 with nothing but games for a little digital work-life separation on a single device.

[-] DevCat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Windows 11 on the desktop with an Ubuntu VM, Ubuntu on a Lenovo laptop, and Linux Mint on an HP 13.

macOS on my laptop. I mainly care about battery life, I dislike having to carry a charger or be plugged into a wall. The M1 machines are unbeatable in this regard.

Linux on my desktop, specifically Ubuntu. No particular reason for using Ubuntu beyond that it's free (as in beer) and fits my needs: casual gaming (as in no competitive online games with anti-cheat) and web browsing.

[-] torbjoern@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Manjaro GNOME w/ Pop Shell for tiling and the launcher. I mostly use it as a sophisticated virtual amplifier (Carla & Gx/LSP plugins) and for gaming. Can't imagine going back to Windows, which I have to use on my work notebook for the time being.

[-] rainercade@mastodon.ie 1 points 2 years ago

@tubbadu Linux Mint, everything I need for home is there the ONLY one I miss is amazing Affinity Suite. Incscape just isn't as good (but it's also free). I used to have a complex Excel home account tracking spreadsheet and I miss that too, but other than that nothing!

[-] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Ubuntu / Kubuntu.

I tried Arch (Manjaro) for a while but was totally lost every time it broke down, which it did a lot. Every update felt like a gamble. The AUR is great but I need more stability.

[-] Gullevek@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

macOS, works for me. Want to get a simple Windows PC for simple games, because that is just way easier to do than with macOS ...

[-] zaktmt@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I main macOS currently. And use KDE Plasma on my Steam Deck and then I have another PC that was a Windows PC that I flashed Pop!_OS on. And I really like it. It definitely feels like a Linux and macOS had a baby. But I am curious about trying a different distro.

I have a decommissioned work PC with Windows for things like MS Access or whatever strange reason I need a Windows-only application.

[-] Badoker@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 years ago

My desktop PC is Windows 11, I've tried setting up dual booting but it never worked properly (probably because I wanted to have separate SSDs for each OS) so I just use Virtualbox if I need a different OS on there. I also have a laptop whose OS I change depending on what I need (generally Fedora, Win 10, or Debian) but I am considering shelling out for a Macbook as well.

I don't like committing myself to one specific OS.

[-] peveleigh@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Windows 11 on my main desktop, Debian + KDE on my garage desktop, and Debian on my home server and cloud server.

[-] CallieLaren@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Windows 11 on my work/gaming system, Ubuntu Server on the server that runs PiHole, VPN, and file sharing, MX Linux on my laptop. On my W11 machine I've also got VMware with machines running every version of Windows from 95 through 7, a few different Linux variants for testing, Mac OS, and a few Win10 lab machines for work. Don't get me started on how much I've upgraded this machine since I bought it in 2021!

[-] erbs@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Elementary OS because I like Arch, but I want things to be a bit more creature comfortable.

[-] cameraandsickle@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Fedora because I like it
