Windows 11 across the board, though I'm trying to migrate. I used Ubuntu as a daily driver in the early 2010s but I was soured by the retirement of Unity and was disappointed by the gaming at the time. These days I've liked the idea of KDE Neon, but I've got a lot to do to be ready for a full migration. I'd take my time with it but the AI stuff has rushed me to move faster.

Windows 11. It sucks but I have apps that don't run on Linux, and there simply aren't any alternatives. I dual boot Kubuntu on my laptop and Kubuntu is great. I just wish software compatibility is better

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

wine is great for this tbh.

i had a couple of holdouts i used in wine until i found a good alternative

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 3 months ago

honestly same

I still run Windows 10 on my laptop. I have a few specialty apps that still require it, but I expect to switch to Linux rather than Windows 11. I also run a household server on Ubuntu Linux.

Bazzite for personal/gaming, currently Arch for my work install. Will be migrating to Aurora-DX for work one of these upcoming weekends. I still have Windows for the occasional game that doesn't quite work right under Proton and for my VR headset which requires Windows Mixed Reality 🤮. Don't do VR much, so it's quite rare that I boot it up.

Currently Linux Mint 21, using MATE as my desktop environment.

Windows 10 or 11 on all (three) day to day systems. Linux Mint on an old laptop which is hardly ever used, and windows xp on an ancient laptop that's only used as music player, and not connected to any network.

Ubuntu , I tried switching to arch recently but I could not figure out how to mount my drive that has all movies on it so I switched back for now. Any tips and mounting a NTFS drive .

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 3 months ago

I use 9 systems currently:

  • 5 Gentoo
  • 2 Arch
  • 1 FreeBSD (OpnSense)
  • 1 w11

And the w11 is a work laptop that is getting Gentoo whenever I get a minute, leaving w11 on as small a partition as I can get away with for a once a month check in to intune.

Windows 11, I think. I never check but it's defo Windows.

Arch with hyprland, switched from Fedora Sway when I felt like trying something fresh. Installing arch was more difficult than expected since I had a couple weird issues I couldn't really find in the manual, but after a while I got it all figured out.

My desktop PC runs a dual boot of Arch Linux and Windows 11 (for the few things that don't work with Linux cough Destiny 2 cough - damn it Bungie, and VR stuff). My MacBook runs a dual boot of Fedora 40 and whatever is the latest version of macOS that can run on it (its an older Intel model, Apple dropped support for it a couple of years ago - I think its running Big Sur? I hardly ever boot into macOS).

And then my Steam Deck (its effectively just another x86 PC afterall) of course uses SteamOS.

What about you, OP?

DietPi (debian) on all my ARM servers, Fedora-CoreOS on all the x86-64 servers, a pi400 as my desktop running fedora, SteamOS on the steam deck.

Of the machines I own: 2 are running Ubuntu server (one for hosting a Minecraft server, the other for testing as I'm still relatively new to Linux), a NAS running trueNAS, A laptop running dual boot Windows 10 and Kali, and my main machine running Windows 10 with Kali and Ubuntu running though WSL. As I am typing this, I am installing Mint on one of the drives of my main PC. I've been putting it off for way too long as the majority of the programs and games I use do not have Linux support.

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Work laptop is macOS and I don't get a choice; end up spending most of my time in emacs to pretend I'm using a different OS.

Primary desktop is Gentoo and I spend a lot of time playing with it. Also got an old thinkpad with Debian, and lastly an old Windows 10 desktop which is going to be put out to pasture soon.

Windows 11, but I just finally got around to switching back to Garuda Linux last night. We'll see how it goes. Still have a lot of headaches and assorted annoyances to work out.
