Arch & Windows 10 on my desktop, OpenSuse Tumbleweed on the laptop.

Fedora and Debian Linux.

Arch right now. Probably going to give NixOS a try in the near future though.

I use Unraid as my host OS with a Windows 11 gaming vm. If you say at my computer you would never know it's not native. I can shutdown/reboot windows and it doesn't affect any of my home server applications, including a mastodon instance.

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

I've got 3 main computers because I'm a tech hoarder. Ubuntu MATE, Linux Mint, and Pop!_OS with XFCE. I've also got a little craptop for distro hopping, currently it's got Debian 12. My work provided a Windows laptop but I only have to bring it to meetings.

Arch Linux

Everything else just sucks (haven't tried LFS, NixOS and Gentoo. But for sure I kinda hate Debian and Fedora based distros as they kinda suck and I mostly hate Microsoft based Operating Systems as they suck the most)

change my mind.

Linux - from 2009 (laptop Arch + Sway / PC Endeavour OS and dual boot Kde and Gnome and rooted phone from 2010, from 2022 grapheneos. Privacy, security and freedom is most important for me.

Windows 10 on my main (gaming) PC (honestly I would probably upgrade to 11 by now if I didn't need to do a BIOS update), and Ubuntu on my computer in the living room. I would try a different distro, but honestly whenever I need a guide to do something on Linux they're always written with Ubuntu and it's default commands and packages in mind so it's just easier to work with

My main system is running Windows 10

It works great for everything I need and as long as I don't enable the TPM in my motherboard settings I don't have to worry about it upgrading itself to Windows 11. Unlike when my system upgraded itself from 8.1 to 10. That was a hard one due to driver issues with my Bluetooth card at the time.

Desktop is Win 10, laptop is mint.

Arch Linux. I also dual boot Windows 10 but 99% of my uptime is on Arch.

Main PC is a gaming rig with Windows 10, side PC for work is Linux Mint with a Win10 dual boot partition just in case something fucks up in Linux, but I haven't needed it in a while. I am not upgrading to Win11 for as long as I am able.

Windows 10 on my main computer, Mint on my HTPC which is getting a lot more use.

Runit Artix

Windows 10. Have proxmox setup with Ubuntu and a few other operating systems.

macOS HighSierra

MacOS of course, or Win11, or Garuda. Depends on how I feel or what I need to do. No it was not made by Apple.

The last version of Windows I used on a computer I owned / own is 3.1. I’ve been on MacOS ever since and will continue to be for as long as I’m able.

I have always been an avid Mac user, so currently Ventura. That said, I did build a frankenbox when I wasn’t sure what would happen with gaming on my Mac (I don’t have major requirements, quite content with my little corner of MMORPG and the occasion Steam games), and that has Windows 11.

I have worked cross-platform for many years, and frankly I liked the version of Windows where the window art was translucent? Was that Windows 7? I liked that. I really did not like when Microsoft made their OS look like their phone (and yes I am cranky Apple made their desktop OS look similar to their phone).

I have not dabbled in Linux, but that is mostly because I am that most dangerous of users: the one who has partial knowledge and too much curiosity. I’m the person who thought you could upgrade Windows by simply replacing the io subsystem on a desktop with the one from more recent version on a laptop (back in that day, you could take the new system folder off a Mac and put it on a Mac with an oiler version and it would upgrade). It took 2 weeks to rebuild that PC, the entire machine needed to be wiped clean, we had to dig up the install floppies to get the CD to work to be able to use the system CDs to install a fresh copy of the OS. I am a menace to technology. ;-)

Mac OS Ventura at work. Win10 at home

Windows 11 on my main Desktop, mainly because anti cheat. Debian on my Raspberry Pi. And SteamOS obviously on my Steam Deck.

Opensuse Leap. No worries.

On my laptop I have Windows 11 installed since that’s what it came with. I’m sure I’ll migrate it to Linux eventually but it’s new.

On my desktop I mostly bounce between Ubuntu and Arch though just installed Pop OS today to see what the craze is all about.

GNU/Linux.

I distrohop a not but right now im using Garuda. I also use different Debian variants in other computers.

Kubuntu

I daily drove Linux for 15 years. OSX for about five, and now windows since WSL.

It's easier to get the Linux stuff I like in Windows than it is to get the window stuff I like in Linux. WSL provides me all the tools I need to manage my Linux servers in a reasonably performant package.

OpenSuse Tumbleweed

I used to have strong opinions about operating systems. Installed various Linux builds and boot loaders to run different OS's. Etc

Now I use windows. I can't even tell you what version without looking. 10 I guess? Windows finally "just works" and I haven't had a BSOD in forever so I really don't care.

Windows 11 on my gaming rig, macOS for all other computing tasks. If I could reliably game on a Mac with good quality, I would. I did some Linux gaming for awhile and was really glad that it had come a long way, but I like not having to think about any kind of technical troubleshooting (usually) when gaming on Windows. And the overall usability of a unix OS is hard to beat.

Fedora kinoite/silverblue

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