macOS
I use Arch btw
Peppermint OS , perfect for just working , and customise. But with the rise of asahi Linux my next computer will be a Mac. I also have a Windows AME install I'm not using just in case I need it. For phones , graphene OS . The best there is.
Windows 11. Don't @ me, I don't have the mental or physical energy to deal with Linux. I've never had a Linux install that's had close to everything working, there's always a device (network, sound, graphics, usb toaster) that doesn't work and attempts to follow people's instructions to fix it either make it worse or just do nothing.
Maybe I'm just useless or unlucky, but I'm due to die in a few decades and I don't have time to deal with that nonsense when Windows does everything I want it to.
Linux Mint.
I use Arch btw
Fedora Silverblue
Gentoo with a custom tiling window manager written in x86 assembly in my free time.
Just kidding, I use Windows.
My main system is a Dell Wyse 5070 Extended running Pop-OS, but its main purpose is to be small on my desktop while being just enough computer to run ThinLinc (which is like RDP for Linux). ThinLinc connects to a much more powerful VM in my Proxmox cluster that runs Debian 11, which is my "real" desktop where I spend all of my time.
However, I'm currently working on setting up a new server with a better CPU, more RAM and a Tesla P4, after which my "real" desktop will be a Nobara 38 VM (based on Fedora) with the Tesla card passed through.
Debian 12
I use Arch Linux.
i use arch btw
I use Arch Linux. I love it. 😸
I use ArseLinux btw.
macOS.
Personal: Linux via EndeavourOS 95% of the time. I have Windows installed on a separate drive so that I can play some games that don't do well on Linux.
Professional: MacOS because that's what the company prefers and has built specific tools for.
Linux both at home and work.
Switched my desktop at home to Linux in 2017 and gaming works well, rarely any problems.
Windows 10 IoT LTSC, without Windows Store and other WPA bloat.
Strange that nobody else commented this
Linux mint
Ubuntu
Arch.
Windows.
Even when I was working ON UNIX (like, with people making the OS), we were all windows+vanDyke+Mozilla, because windows was the most reliable platform for that.
Haven't changed, even if I'm waiting for ReactOS eagerly. It's win10+putty+SeaMonkey until then.
- Gaming PC - Dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 11. Arch for everything (literally) and Windows 11 for VR only. I even share the same Steam library between 2 OSes on separate SSD, formatted as btrfs.
- Work laptop - Arch linux (because I can, we have strict managed-Windows system policy lol).
- Personal laptop - Arch Linux.
All of them using KDE.
MacOS
Pop!_OS.
I have tried many Linux distros since I finally abandoned Windows for good, but in spite of the fact that I prefer Fedora over the other kernels, Pop!_OS as a distro, along with Pop Shell, is just everything I've ever wanted in an OS and all else just feels inferior.
I'm a dev, though, so it would make sense that an OS made by devs for devs would be my cuppa.
Most users won't need 90% of what I, specifically, love about the OS, but it's also the first distro I've found where everything I want to use just works out of the box without spending hours troubleshooting, and that's not nothing.
Trisquel GNU/Linux on a Librebooted ThinkPad.
Windows 10. My previous effort to try Linux didn't pan out and now I just want the stability and predictability of Windows. I might try it again down the road.
Used to have a Macbook but nowaday I don't like mac for anything I do.
Ubuntu
I use Arch on my laptop, gaming PC, and my arcade machine. I hate windows so much and haven't used it at home in years.
MacOS
Linux, baby!
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with Plasma, but once I get a new-iah PC I'll probably get back to my beloved Gentoo. :-)
macOS on the laptop (Apple Silicon is amazing!) and Fedora on the desktop. Just moved Windows 11 to a separate disk to rot. Finally all-UNIX!
Fedora
Debian
As a Linux user since 1996 or thereabouts I've tried most distributions. I've been a hardcore Gentoo ricer and "I'm using Arch btw..". But these days stability is my main requirement and Debian fills that need perfect.
I’ve used Debian Linux as my primary home desktop since 2005 and at work since 2008. I’ve never had a job that required a Windows machine and at this point it’s a deal breaker for me.
I specifically use Debian stable. In my first decade of using Linux I wanted the bleeding edge, cool stuff, but for me nothing interesting has happened to my machine since 2015.
NixOS (Linux)
As a dev, the nix-shell environments are very useful as I don't have to fully install every package to use it. My system configuration is also represented in a single, declarative file which is a dream. I can copy the config to a new system, run nixos-rebuild and my entire system configuration is on the new system.
Window 11... Easy to play I confess
I use Arch BTW (w KDE Plasma)
PopOS
MacOS.
Prefer Linux but I like the Apple hardware so I’m giving it a try.
Arch Linux with KDE
fedora 38
Windows, until a week ago. Now switched to Mac os (I despised apple for 20 years)
Microsoft hijacking my chrome tabs and opening them in edge on reboot was the last straw. Also, I bought an Xbox series x, and cloud play to my Xbox won't work on their own os. So selling my Xbox too and switched to ps5.
Used to use Linux, but I feel for the tasks I do, Mac os is more maintainable long term
Permanently Deleted
My work laptop runs Ubuntu, my home PC runs Windows 10. I used Mac OS in my last job. I'm not really picky about it.
Switched to Linux - Fedora, PopOs, Mint 5-6 years ago, never looked back. But there is 3 months gap, when I built my PC I installed windows on it and used for some time. The worst computing experience I had in last 5 years.
Debian. On every computer with a physical keyboard. And all servers. Mainly because of philosophy, stability, release cycle (2 years for major updates which I find neither too longnkor too short) and having gotten (is that proper english lol) used to it.
I've been on Mint with Cinnamon for the last 4 years or so but before that was a long stint of Ubuntu/Gnome after distro hopping. I am considering moving upstream to Debian or switching back to Arch in the future.
Fedora Silverblue. The ultimate bulletproof no-babysitting Linux experience!
Granted, I do fit into a fairly specific niche of users who don't have any hard attachment to Windows or macOS. I'm a programmer (Linux is great for dev work, ever wonder why WSL exists?) and all the games I play are either native or work great under Proton.
Arch Linux, since 2012. Before that, I ran Lubuntu, Ubuntu and some other stuff since ~2004.
MacOS - I've got a Macbook Pro that I do all my work and personal stuff on and then I have my Windows 10 PC that I use almost exclusively for gaming.
It's just practically easier for me to work with MacOS.
I do graphical design work.
EndeavourOS on my gaming laptop. I do productivity, Rust programming and gaming, mostly GuildWars2 and various RPGs. Waiting for Baldur Gate 3 !
I love that everyone saying Windows feels like they gotta justify why they’re using it lol. I’m running Windows 10 on my desktop and Windows 11 on my laptop.
Not proud to say Windows LTSC, but at least it's better than retail Windows.
Though I have run FreeBSD on certain systems like for building embedded software at the hobby level, but that's not something I use all the time. It's my favorite OS though, elegance in its design.
Arch Linux. Been using Linux exclusively for about 10 years now, in various flavours, and will never go back at this point.
I use Linix Mint. Close enough to Windows for the basic user, with all of the Linux versatility. Not a fan of the UI on other distros tbh. I've been able to run games on it with minimal extra configuration for the last six or so years. Keep it updated and do a fresh install of the new version every couple years and you're golden.
I've been using FreeBSD for close to 15 years now as my main operating system. Very rarely I have to boot into windows.
Nobara Linux
I am ChromeOS user with Debian linux in terminal.
The funny thing is I am beginning to struggle using the chromebook (Acer 714) for actual work, because of increasing hardware requirements of my everyday software.
I know it is an everlasting road to disappointment, but needed to take it out of my chest.
Manjaro
Wouldn't this thread be super biased to Linux users since those who use linux as a daily driver tend to talk about it more often than win/mac users?
NixOS!
Debian
Desktop: Windows 10
Laptop: MacOS
Mobile: iOS
And I use an iPad for DND character sheets/notes and generally running sessions for my players.
NixOS!

Windows 11 because I'm too lazy to try and figure out how to run applicationa/games on a Linux based OS.
EndeavourOS on my desktop and Pop!_OS on my laptop (it's a System76 laptop).
Linux mint for almost 2 years now. Finally stopped dual booting windows about a month ago after realizing I was running out of things I knew how to do better with microsoft.
Alpine Linux
Windows 11, but I want to eventually go back to Linux, waiting on better fractional scaling then I think I can head back.
Another Ubuntu user here.
Gentoo (Linux).
MacOS Ventura on the iMac, Manjaro on the laptop.
MacOS Ventura because my industry is Mac-based.
Arch Linux on my desktop, laptop and server. It just works and I don't have to deal with any issues, I've been using it since 2015 and I found it to be the easiest and most rock solid OS I've ever used. I use Syncthing to sync files across all the computers. Then there's my work laptop, my employer provides Windows 10/11 and Ubuntu, so I chose Ubuntu.
I use Windows 11 and honestly am pretty happy with it. My laptop runs on fedora. I would Consider Switching to Linux on my Desktop but i do music production and some of my soft and Hardware (NI maschine mk3 and some VSTs) dont run on Linux. As long as that is the case, Switching doesnt make sense for me.
Edit: if anyone has suggestions how to get maschine, vsts from NI komplete and VSTs in General to run on Linux, i would be super happy. As a second DAW i usw bitwig which supports linux but as all my other stuff is windows Based im pretty much tied to Microsoft
TIL that KDE Plasma is probably the most represented DE on Lemmy 😍
KDE@lemmy.kde.social
UBUNTU <3
Windows 10 BUT im using chris titus's powershell script and winaero tweaker and openshell to remove all windows apps and customize the os, plus chocolatey automation and fastcopy scripts to automate my installation process. i havent timed it but on a good day i could reinstall windows and have my system up and running in the hour, including formatting and installing windows 10 to the disk.
Debian Testing. I ran Ubuntu for years but really didn't like the changes in GNOME they made, decided to try Debian Non-free and I've loved it.
Windows 11
Linux
Opensuse Tumbleweed
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
Arch Linux
Ubuntu, it has a great community and works well. I don't need more
MacOS for work. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my private.
Linux Mint. When it first came out, it was the first distro where sound and wifi worked out of the box on fresh installations by shipping with restricted drivers. It made installations so easy that I just stopped trying other distros.
MacOS. Looks like there's tens of us on Lemmy. Tens!
Fedora Linux. I was skeptical at the beginning but I am glad I switched from Windows.
Permanently Deleted
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 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.
Linux openSUSE
Linux (Arch with KDE Plasma)
Fedora Workstation.
Endeavour OS
Pop OS on my System 76 desktop (Thelio Mira). Couldn't be happier with it.
Permanently Deleted
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.
Pop!_OS (Linux)
Just installed Fedora Kinoite. I'm running immutably now
Linux Mint. Never needed anything else, and hopefully it'll stay this way..
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.
Linux. Pop!_OS
Fedora
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
Windows 10 Home
Manjaro
EndeavourOS
Windows 11
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.
Arch Linux with Openbox
Rocking Endeavour OS right now. It's been working well for me so far.
Windows 10 Pro, and not even slightly ashamed to admit it. Though my PC is ancient by Microsoft standards and is also has the ideal specs for a low-end Linux gaming machine (Ryzen 7 1700 + AMD RX 580) so once Windows 10 is out of support I'll probably switch it to Pop!_OS or Manjaro since I've had excellent luck with those elsewhere.
Laptop is an m1 Air. I needed a new laptop and I wanted the System76 lemur pro but it was during the pandemic /chip shortage and I couldn't wait. It was my first apple product and Ive been pleasantly surprised. Iterm2 is fantastic and brew is one of the best package managers I've seen. The apple silicon is incredible and I think the ML cores are something people are sleeping on. They do ML tasks faster than my Nvidia GPUs by a good margin. And unified memory means, if you spec it right, you can have access to tons of ram for ml or GPU tasks.
My desktop has been Pop for 3 years or so. All the games I play work flawlessly and are getting even better as proton gets more love.
Pop is the perfect balance of everything. Cosmic is great, their kernel is very recent, they have the latest gfx card drivers, apt flatpaks means you have access to everything you'd need and it's rock solid stable. The upgrades have been flawless and their docs are incredibly useful.
I have windows lingering on a drive for dual boot but I haven't logged in to that other than to run updates in 1-2 years.
Kubuntu FTW
Linux Mint with KDE Plasma.
My main gaming PC is Windows 10. Other devices have varying flavors of Ubuntu Linux.
Mxlinux
Main PC is Win 10 for gaming and audio production. MacOS for work.
linux
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.
Pop!_OS for desktop, FreeBSD for server
Pop_OS!
Win 11 because of games, music production and other windows-only tools (TIHI). Some flavor of Debian everywhere else.
I've been using windows for years now and I don't think I'll ever switch to another OS, Linux or otherwise.
Currently on ArcoLinux on both my desktop and laptop (although they both have windows installs that I basically never use except for the rare case I need windows software or games)
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.
On my main computer I use Arch. My laptop is a MacBook, so that one runs macOS.
Linux Mint with gnome desktop
Ubuntu Server for my self-hosted cloud service
Windows 10 primarily due to work requirements. I have a laptop with Xubuntu for personal use.
Fedora, pretty much everything I want from a Linux distro and desktop OS, fits my needs perfectly and what I would recommend most people.
Nixos on my PC, NixOS on my laptop, NixOS on my raspberry pi
Also steamOS on my steam deck , don't see any reason to change that
I also have windows dual booted on my laptop as a secondary os but I boot it around once every couple weeks at most
Windows 11
I duel boot. I use Mint 99% of the time & Win10 for that 1% of software/games I can't get working.
Debian Linux (stable)
Windows 10 on my main machine and Lubuntu on my home server
Windows 10
Manjaro Linux, also for my gaming. Booted up my secondary Windows drive yesterday on my main computer, just to update it.
For personal stuff (mostly development and general browsing) I use PopOS, have been using it for 4 years now with no problems whatsoever.
For work I use macOS because forced.
Will never use a Windows machine again. I tried my wife's Windows 11 machine, and it fucking SUCKS!!
For gaming I have a Steam Deck which is SteamOS.
Linux all the way!
NetBSD :)

EndeavourOS with GNOME!
Fedora KDE feels like the perfect blend of customization and stability for me. Oh, and the packages are up to date. I have been on Linux since the early 2000's and finally stopped distrohoping with Fedora about 1 year ago.
Windows 11 ^^ It is what it is
Windows 10 soon to be 11.
Linux gaming has come a long way and I game on my Linux box, but with WSL now I can most of my Linux specific work on my Windows machine and also game which gives me the best of both worlds.
Kubuntu
Windows 10 as long as possible. I think my hardware may support Windows 11, but there's no benefit to me upgrading until I need to.
Debian Sid XFCE.
I use Kubuntu for the kde plasma desktop. It made the switch from windows much easier. I dual boot and occasionally use windows if I want to play a game which doesn’t have Linux support
Arch/KDE on my laptop which is the tinkering machine, Pop!OS and Windows on the desktop that other people use and I'm not allowed to break.
Arch with i3wm
Linux (Arch).
I can't stand Windows anymore. So much crap that I don't want and can't get rid of.
Windows 11 running on my laptop
Debian Stable (Bookworm)
Win 11 it just works for me
Slackware Linux
Windows 10. Would migrate to Linux, but between Adobe software and abusing the personal unlimited backup (specifically not enabled for Linux due to power users) from Backblaze it just makes more sense to stay right now.
Slackware Linux currently
Windows 10 enterprise msdn. Unfortunately it looks like eol is pretty soon. I'm not liking windows 11 at all. Surprisingly this time pro and enterprise have the same eol dates, or have I read it wrong. Microsoft usually supports enterprise for a bit longer.
LTSC is to 2027 but I think there maybe some compatibility issues as it's not really designed for being a desktop OS. Might give that a whirl a bit later.
Windows 10 Pro, I'm waiting for end of life in a couple of years to migrate to Linux. Depending on how it goes, it'll probably be a one way trip.
Windows 11 for my gaming and work laptops.
Ubuntu for everything else.
Ubuntu mainly and Windows mainly for streaming. Discord lags for some reason when I stream on Linux. I also have Fedora and Manjaro on my second/third comps but that wasn’t asked..
Q4OS, a very user-friendly Debian-based OS.
Windows, Linux on my servers and Raspberry Pi machines. Linux on desktop is oh-so-close, but it's been oh-so-close since the early 2000s!
Windows 11, but I'm currently playing around with different Linux distros trying to see if I can finally get rid of windows for good.
Windows 10 but I do most of my work in an ubuntu 22.04 VM in virtualbox. But use windows for games and casual use.
Server runs ubuntu 20.04 server which has a bunch of services for my network and my main storage.
Laptop runs ubuntu 22.04 desktop. It's an old laptop so I'm using ubuntu to extend its life.
Windows on desktop, Mac on laptop (altho likely switching to Framework with windows soon)
Windows, because gaming. Sticking with 10 as long as possible (LTSC), maybe 12 will be worth upgrading to
KDE Neon. It's Ubuntu LTS with the latest KDE development stuff.
I generally dislike Ubuntu because they have some really odd breakages and bad defaults, but Debian just gets too out of date eventually. I do use Debian for anything that needs Linux and isn't my main desktop, though (and *BSD if it just needs UNIX).
Debian & Gentoo for personal
Ubuntu & Mint for work
I use arch on my laptops, debian on my servers, and I recommend fedora to others. I'm also nix/guix curious.
EndeavourOS on desktop and laptop. It's been working great for years
mac for working, windows for gaming, linux for serving
Linux, I like my main boxen to be stable. Unlike my Windows game box.
Fedora 38 and Windows 10 on dual boot, though I mostly just use Fedora.
I dualboot Windows 10 Pro and Fedora 38 KDE Spin on my home desktop.
I use Fedora for programming and to administer my other systems (Minecraft server, NAS, Raspberry Pi), and Windows for gaming.
I plan to move gaming to Linux too, but so far I've been too lazy to make the jump. I'm also not sure if I should go with an extra install of Arch or just try to do it on my Fedora.
Debian Bookworm KDE - though I have to admit that it's not my final destination when it comes to distro hopping, I guess. Currently thinking about giving Zorin OS a go.
Windows 10 (Home) until end of support, but I'll have to look into getting into Linux, as, among other things, Windows 11 having an in-built AI cemented to me that I will never ever be using it.
macOS, and after having to use virtual desktops on windows for work, I appreciate macs spaces implementation so much more.
I have windows 11 on my gaming computer and that’s fine with a third party clipboard manager, and powertoys.
Windows 10 in the office even with powertoys and a third party clipboard manager still annoys me.
The virtual desktop includes all monitors as one desktop. If you switch one screen to a different desktop it switches all of them. On my Mac I can switch per screen with a swipe.
Also the virtual desktop overview is laggy so moving windows between virtual desktops is a pain. Furthermore in that overview you can only move windows between the same monitors virtual desktop, you can move across monitors for whatever reason.
I don't think there's a single "main" computer anymore. My home computer is Linux Mint Cinnamon. My mobile computer (which I use nearly as much as my desktop OS) is Android.
My next smartphone is going to allow installing a privacy-respecting custom ROM (because Linux on mobile really isn't there yet). Once I do that, I'll focus on f-droid apps only. Something to look forward to.
Fedora, first I just went with it to try it, but now I stick with it. It's great because things just work, and I haven't come across problems I didn't know how to fix.
I dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 10, which came preinstalled and is pretty much only used for games at this times.
Usually Linux Mint and Windows 11, but recently installed Manjaro on my Linux partitions to check it out.
Fedora workstation Sadly I also keep a windows 10 install for VR because oculus needs proprietary software for air link
Arch with KDE on Desktop, Arch with custom DE (based on i3) on my Laptop. However I consider switching to KDE on my Laptop due to updates requiring me to fix things quite often.
FreeBSD 13 and Fedora KDE spin.
Linux all the way, using OpenSuse
Windows 11 for my gaming PC. Debian running KDE Plasma for my work PC. Debian without a DE for my various home lab PCs.
Ubuntu
I've been using Windows 11 and Ubuntu with dual boot on my laptop, but a few days ago I tried Linux Mint, and it's awesome. Now I plan to switch from Ubuntu to Linux Mint.
Windows 11 for gaming PC, Windows 10 for work laptop, Mac OS for personal laptop and Fedora for my old laptop. Also using both Ubuntu and Rocky Linux for servers. Steam Deck is still on Steam OS, Pi's use Raspberry Pi OS (aka raspbian). I don't really have a 'main' computer as it mostly depends where I am and what I'm doing.
I'm pretty comfortable with any OS at this point, even on mobile devices (both Android and iOS/iPad OS). I'm not a big fan of Windows but it pays the bills working in IT. I was in the process of migrating servers away from Ubuntu and onto Rocky (rip CentOS) although with the recent changes in Red Hat Land... We'll see how the rest of the migration progresses.
My desktop runs Linux (Ubuntu), and I have a Win 10 and a MacOS virtual machine on it for when those are needed. I also have a Windows 11 laptop that's nearly also "main" because I do need to be mobile a lot. Increasingly, RDC from my desktop to the laptop is replacing the VM. I have spent a lot of time trying to set them both up to be able to do anything I need to do on either machine, but I greatly prefer my desktop when I'm in my office because I built it for myself for my birthday and it's kind of overpowered. 😁
Windows 10 but I use WSL for VS code and docker.
I love Linux, 20+ years I’d use, but the desktop experience is inferior to Win/Mac in my opinion. I do hope that changes though.
Fedora Linux with either Gnome or Sway depending on the device.
xubuntu cuz im too lazy rn to configure anything else than vim
I use Gentoo. It's nice and comfy and I can actually control what I want to do on there.
Insert compile firefox meme
Fedora, used Arch for many years but decided to try it out and have really enjoyed it. After Red Hats RHEL decisions I might swap to arch or nix os.
Debian Unstable on my laptops and desktop, Debian Stable on my server, Windows 10 is dual booted on my desktop for gaming.
My partner and I have been on Manjaro for 3 years and never looked back
Windows 10 + linux mint dual booted on my desktop which is my current main, but I have windows 11 on my laptop that will become my main computer because college. Unfortunately windows 11 is required, i dont even know if stuff like solidworks that i will have to use would run on linux. I am also just more used to windows in general
Ubuntu. For at least a decade now, I'm sure.
Windows 11 as my everyday os
But everything around me is Linux (proxmox running Debian LXC) or BSD (opnsense, truenas)
Debian 12 with GNOME. I'm boring and just want something that works. :)
Windows.. for gaming on my desktop and Photoshop on my laptop.. I know there's alternatives, but not without compromise
I have win11 and Pop_OS! on separate drives.
For everything but VR, Arch Linux with KDE Plasma. For VR, Windows 10
I've played VR on Linux before with my Vive but it's definitely not feature complete yet. I just got Knuckles for it though so I've been using the Vive with them a lot recently, so I might start trying it more often. The lack of desktop view in SteamVR on Linux is really annoying though (I got it to work once, but that was the only thing that worked at the time lol)
I just switched to Linux with PopOS about a month ago. My aging HDD is about to die because of bad sectors, and I was able to get myself a great deal on a 1 TB Crucial P3. Got it and decided to install Linux instead of cloning my HDD.
There are minor pains of using Linux over Windows and trying to run Windows programs on it, but it is so much better now compared to even just a year or so ago.
Pop OS from the start of the year. The Steam Deck showed be his far Linux gaming has come, no issues running the things I play. Glad to be rid of Windows
Dual boot Windows 11 and EndeavourOS on KDE
Proxmox.
I spin up VM's and pass through my graphics card. If I'm studying I'll but into kbuntu. If I'm playing or streaming video games, windows 10. I also have several VMs for different purposes. A Win10 with quicken for tracking family expenses. A Proxmox backup server to house backup images from my primary Proxmox cluster, using three old PCs. As an example.
Fedora Workstation 38. Dual boot Windows on a separate drive, but this is solely for gaming. I know gaming on Linux has gotten better, but I want the best experience, which is much easier on Windows.
Ubuntu :)
Debian Bookworm, I like to live on the edge. The extremely stable edge.
MacOS Ventura
Arch on desktop and laptop, debian on server.
Have to use Win 11 on my work laptop though
I'm not sure which one is my main. I have an old MacBook Air, haven't updated the OS in a long time because I got tired of MacOS becoming merged with iOS. I have a desktop that dual boots between Windows 10 and Ubuntu. I use them all about the same amount. Honestly, I use my phone more than either.
Kubuntu on my Laptop, Windows 11/KDE Neon dualboot on my gaming pc.
Windows 11 on my main Desktop, mainly because anti cheat. Debian on my Raspberry Pi. And SteamOS obviously on my Steam Deck.
Arch with KDE on my desktop where I play games and fuck around, Manjaro KDE on my work laptop, Debian on my servers. Doesn't get much better than that.
Ubuntu for quite a few years but I'm going back to Debian next.
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.
Windows 11 for gaming, mac for work/dev stuff
Archcraft🤘🏿
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 10. I primarily use it for gaming and development. I also have a Linux box for home automation with Home Assistant so I guess you could argue I use that the most passively.
Fedora Workstation. Used to dual boot with Win11 to solely play Genshin Impact, but it randomly became compatible on Linux so I have no reason to go back. Looking at either Fedora Silverblue, or might mess around with NixOS tomorrow.

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
most recently I use Windows 10 in my main desktop
I use older windows as well various Linux for my Virtual Machines guestOS, latter is also for my Steam Deck
Using Fedora Workstation 38 KDE Spin on both my personal desktop and work laptop, with the ocasional Windows 10 VM for some shenanigans! Has been working great for me!
