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.

Ubuntu at work, Arch at home. Having a linux machine at work has been an incredible upgrade.

Windows.. for gaming on my desktop and Photoshop on my laptop.. I know there's alternatives, but not without compromise

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

Debian 12 with GNOME. I'm boring and just want something that works. :)

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)

Fedora 38 and Windows 10 on dual boot, though I mostly just use Fedora.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ubuntu. For at least a decade now, I'm sure.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Linux, I like my main boxen to be stable. Unlike my Windows game box.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

mac for working, windows for gaming, linux for serving

Manjaro, because it's up to date while easy to use.

EndeavourOS on desktop and laptop. It's been working great for years

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I use arch on my laptops, debian on my servers, and I recommend fedora to others. I'm also nix/guix curious.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Debian & Gentoo for personal

Ubuntu & Mint for work

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Windows 11 as my everyday os

But everything around me is Linux (proxmox running Debian LXC) or BSD (opnsense, truenas)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Debian Unstable on my laptops and desktop, Debian Stable on my server, Windows 10 is dual booted on my desktop for gaming.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

NixOS. I distrohopped for years but now I've landed and it has been several years since I felt any urge to explore alternatives (maybe with the exception of Guix, which is basically the same idea but everything is in Guile Scheme (Lisp)).

I'm never going back to a mutable OS if I can help it.

Windows, because gaming. Sticking with 10 as long as possible (LTSC), maybe 12 will be worth upgrading to

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Windows on desktop, Mac on laptop (altho likely switching to Framework with windows soon)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Slackware Linux

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I use Gentoo. It's nice and comfy and I can actually control what I want to do on there.

Insert compile firefox meme

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Win 11 it just works for me

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Debian Stable (Bookworm)

Windows 11 running on my laptop
