Linux (Pop OS) . It's amazing how seamless gaming has become with Steam and Proton. Never thought I'd use Linux on my main PC but here we are! There are still issues but hopefully it keeps improving

Fedora

Linux Mint with gnome desktop

Ubuntu Server for my self-hosted cloud service

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

Windows 10 Home

EndeavourOS

Pop_OS!

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.

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.

Linux (Arch with KDE Plasma)

I have dual boot Manjaro/Windows, but honestly I haven't used the windows partition in two years except for the very occasional moment I need to check if a document format is alright to send to someone, or anyone else not familiar with Linux needs to do something.

Nobara linux on my media center/gaming PC. The same on my laptop currently, but I'm a habitual distro-hopper, so I may be on NixOS or Vanilla or maybe Void next week. Whichever I happen to be on, there's a 90% chance I'll be using the Gnome DE.

Linux openSUSE

Endeavour OS

Fedora Workstation. Everything just works out of the box, even AAC codec with Bose headphone.

Windows 11

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

My main gaming PC is Windows 10. Other devices have varying flavors of Ubuntu Linux.

Gentoo on my desktop, and Fedora on my laptop.

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

Kubuntu FTW

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

Fedora, pretty much everything I want from a Linux distro and desktop OS, fits my needs perfectly and what I would recommend most people.

Windows 11. I'd love to switch to Linux but I have a few edge cases that keep me from doing that right now. I made the mistake of buying Forza Horizon 5 on the Windows store instead of steam. I know I can move my save over to the steam version and rebuy it, but I got the premium version and have no idea what DLC I need to buy again when I look at the store page. And I have an oculus quest which I use with Oculus Link to play PCVR games. There's ALVR to do it on Linux, but compared to link it's not going to cut it for me. Once I have a new VR headset (AKA when valve replaces the Index) and Forza horizon 6 is out/5 is EOL I'm more than happy to make the jump.

Windows 11. I don't especially like Windows 11 but dev and gaming is pretty great on Windows. Visual Studio is pretty important for me too.

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

Linux. Pop!_OS

Ubuntu. I've used Windows since v1 (yeah I'm an oldie), played with Linux on raspberry pi's etc. but had to use Ubuntu when I joined a digital team and over time switched back to windows less and less to now it's just for odd gaming.

I use Garuda Gnome Linux. It's setup nearly how I would set up an arch install from scratch, just working out of the box. I've done a lot of distro hopping in the past year, but I keep going back to Garuda.

I've been using windows for years now and I don't think I'll ever switch to another OS, Linux or otherwise.

MacOS with a tiling window manager for work, Win10 on PC for gaming and Linux on all servers. I would run Linux for work if Office, Adobe and esp. Outlook ran on it, MacOS with Yabai + SKHD is the closest I can get to a Linux experience while still being functional for work.

Windows 10 primarily due to work requirements. I have a laptop with Xubuntu for personal use.

I duel boot. I use Mint 99% of the time & Win10 for that 1% of software/games I can't get working.

Dual boot NixOS for productivity and Windows for games. I do also have a macbook that I rarely use.

Windows 11

As a webdev, I'm loving Win11 with WSL2. The new Terminal is great and Powertools make organizing windows on my ultrawide easy. I've had to use exclusively Macs for a while for my last company and was not really a fan.
