FreeBSD because it just works. I like the consistency of it.

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.

Linux. Debian.

Is there another possibility, why you ask "and why"?

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.

Archlinux with KDE. I have windows 10 on a second hard drive but I boot into it idk once a month.

Arch Linux, switched to it some time ago out of curiosity and stayed because I liked the way it works.

This is my exact setup as well. I ran Windows on my laptop for years but Windows modern sleep absolutely ruined it for me. Placing my fully charged laptop in my bag on sleep and pulling it out completely dead 8 hours later is asinine. macOS knows how to sleep properly.

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

I use windows 11 on the main PC. Ease of use for everyone in the household plus easy access to mainstream gaming. I use Linux Mint on my personal laptop. I'm not much of a power user these days so Mint has everything I need for my slightly older laptop.

I used to dual boot windows 10 and gentoo Linux before my CPU died ( 😭 ). There’s so many Linux games now I probably will just run gentoo… (I do have a windows 98 build I use for nostalgia)

Fedora Silverblue. It's one of the closest to a ChromeOS like "no maintenance" Linux distros with still a lot of Linux feel. I just don't have the headspace to maintain reliably anymore.

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!

Linux Mint for my laptop and Artix with S6 on my workstation.

Also, ARTIX USERS REPRESENT! We need to rep our distro a lot more!

@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!

I dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 11 on separate drives. I would go fully Arch because I love the idea of a DIY OS, especially for programming & game performance, but games like CoD are keeping me stuck with Windows.

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.

Windows. Use it for school and gaming. Almost never touch it tho.

windows, I need fusion 360
