Windows on PC for gaming, Linux on work laptop for development

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Windows 10 unfortunately. Will go back to Linux some day but I can't be bothered at the moment.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Windows 11 on my desktop to game on and Ubuntu (Prefer Linux Mint though) on my laptop as a self-hosted server.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

EndeavourOS, it's based on Arch Linux.

Alpine Linux on most of my servers, if want something else for some reason Ubuntu.

I use TUXEDO OS 2 on my new Tuxedo Infinitybook S15. I can tell it's quite good!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Solus Plasma, nothing really gives me such a home. I tried others but nope

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Windows 10 at home desktop, windows 11 laptop and work desktop. Frankly I'd switch to Linux but lots of stuff didn't work on it last I checked a year ago. Wayland seems to be messing with Nvidia and kde. Last Fedora release bricked on boot of the live usb. One day Linux will be ready. I like it on my steam deck and phone. It's great for embedded systems with limited hardware differences and a focused company supporting it's development. FOSS software suites really needs an organization behind it to be successful.

Debian 12 with KDE Plasma, works perfectly on every system I have thrown at it.

Has anyone been living on https://vanillaos.org? If so, what's it been like for you? The upcoming 2.0 built on Debian looks very interesting :)

I use Debian 12 on my main pc, and on my laptop I use a OS that is based on Debian

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I use older windows as well various Linux for my Virtual Machines guestOS, latter is also for my Steam Deck

Win10, but I swear if it asks me to try out Office 365 one more time, I am putting some Linux distro on there and not going back (except I sometimes need Windows due to work requirements).

Windows 11

Testing out Pop OS though and if it is not a pain in the butt, I'll be switching over to it.

Garuda linux has been my goto on my personal computer and laptop for about 3 years now, basically since it was released on my work machine i use windows unfortunatly.

on my two little media servers, i run arch inside proxmox continers.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Windows 11 on my main desktop PC, my laptop is a MacBook so macOS.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Main desktop is Windows 10, Asus ROG Ally is Windows 11, and my phone is a Google Pixel 7 Pro, so Android. But I've definitely gone through tinkering around with different Linux distro phases over the last 20+ years!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Windows 11 for main (gaming) PC.

Pop_os for work laptop.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Linux Mint with Cinnamon and XFCE. I also own a Mac (actually its my company computer), but i keep it for Power Point and Microsoft Office. My company is ok for me to work with my personal Linux computer, as long as i show them proof it's encrypted. Nice guys.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hackintosh Mojave and Win10(just gaming) for my desktop and Linux Mint on my laptop(MBP 2012). Probably going to switch to Linux instead of Mojave for the desktop soon though. I've stayed far of away of "eco systems" and don't have any workflow that doesn't use open formats, so I'm very platform agonist.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Void linux on desktop and Slackware on work laptop.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

NixOS ftw! xD

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Windows 11 because the games I play don't support Linux.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm generally running a Linux distribution on my computer, as for which one - well I have a tendency to distro hop around quite a bit. As of yesterday I'm on Fedora Kinoite (though I still have my Arch partition around in case I feel I need to go exit/go back) and it has been pretty smooth thus far. I have regular Fedora KDE Workstation installed on my old Macbook Pro as well, so it makes sense I suppose!

I also have a Windows partition for when I want to play a game that either doesn't work on Linux at all (cough Destiny 2...) or doesn't work as well on Linux, at some point I'd like to completely erase it though.

I wish GeForce Now worked better on Linux as I'd just use that otherwise. But for some reason, every time I've tried a game streaming service on Linux (GFN, Stadia, Luna, even Shadow PC) it has always felt like it was performing worse than when I ran it in Windows (just to make sure there were no issues with say my network).

Mobile-wise I just use stock ("Google'd" - yes, I know...) Android on my Pixel. On my servers I tend to use RHEL based distros, but with the recent news about RedHat's shenanigans I'm wondering if I should be regretting my choice now, but I guess we'll see.
