I use Opensuse MicroOS on half a dozen PCs but I keep one on Windows until I can run Fortnite on Linux.
Jumping to Linux just picking a distro
I have an older pc that I use as a a Plex server so as soon as I get some time I will fully switch to Ubuntu.
The only real reason I'm still on Win 10 is because of Escape from Tarkov and Photoshop. I need to get a new m.2 and just start sorting through my crap I guess but I haven't gotten the motivation yet lol
Been on it for years
I've been on 11 since before it was officially released. Honestly never had any issues with it, but I'm interested in hearing what sort of issues anyone else might have had? Are we talking about privacy concerns, bugs or performance issues?
I've got a few computers - my daily driver is Win10, there's a media player still on 8.1 (only accesses music streams and it's not spotify, it's URLs like https://das-edge15-live365-dal02.cdnstream.com/a98345), the main pihole machine runs vanilla Debian, the backup pihole on a Raspberry Pi also running Debian, and a couple of older laptops also running Debian.
So no, I don't plan to upgrade.
I’m on 12, and will be upgrading to 13 when Trixie hits stable.
Got a new laptop about a month ago. Put Fedora Bluefin on it immediately. Couple other computers/server have been running Debian flavors for year or two.
My main desktop is still Windows, but I literally never use it, especially since getting the laptop. I'll switch it over when I get time.
I'm still tied to windows for three apps. I've found a Linux replacement for one, I just haven't done the work to convert the database.
Another one I'm trying to run it's Android version in a waydroid docker, but I'm hitting walls, no time to dig deeper.
And the last one has no replacement, and it's too delicate to try emulating, I don't want to nuke the shared database it's attached to, it's not worth the headache. So I keep a Windows VM around for the once a month I need to use that program for 🤷♂️
I'm purposely being vague about the programs, they are very identifying, but trust me there's no alternatives.
Even with all that, I'm not looking back, win11 sucks.
Jumped to linux with a new laptop, but not gaming on it. It's fine for what I need. My old machine will be for gaming only.
My old as hell PC died I'm getting a steam deck as a replacement with a dock and ...so I'll just be dual booting into windows 11 and obviously steam OS when I decide to play hand held.
I don't plan on doing anything until I have no choice but to buy a new computer.
I've gotten to a point where the quality of a PS2 game is higher to me than most AAA releases. I mostly play retro games, more open multiplayer games that don't block users like TF2(and TF2) and indies... so, no. I don't really need Windows for anything.
