Win 11 because of games, music production and other windows-only tools (TIHI). Some flavor of Debian everywhere else.

Win 10 but I'm craving to install mint/endeavour.

Fedora Workstation. Everything just works out of the box, even AAC codec with Bose headphone.

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!

Arch Linux with Openbox

Nobara linux on my media center/gaming PC. The same on my laptop currently, but I'm a habitual distro-hopper, so I may be on NixOS or Vanilla or maybe Void next week. Whichever I happen to be on, there's a 90% chance I'll be using the Gnome DE.

My main gaming PC is Windows 10. Other devices have varying flavors of Ubuntu Linux.

[–] czarrie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Currently Arch with KDE, switched recently from Gnome. Probably gonna swap to something a little more basic for the desktop environment, it's pretty but in the words of Peter Griffin, "It insists on itself"

Desktop: Windows 10

Laptop: MacOS

Mobile: iOS

And I use an iPad for DND character sheets/notes and generally running sessions for my players.

[–] rayman30@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

On my main computer I use Arch. My laptop is a MacBook, so that one runs macOS.

[–] darkan15@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] riskable@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

Kubuntu FTW

[–] Alkider@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Rocking Endeavour OS right now. It's been working well for me so far.

[–] JaffaBoy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] TurianHammer@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] minthenry@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago

Linux Mint with KDE Plasma.

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.

[–] zerbey@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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!

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.

[–] owsei@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

xubuntu cuz im too lazy rn to configure anything else than vim

[–] Fudgeknuckles98@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years 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

[–] Venomnik0@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years 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

I dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 10, which came preinstalled and is pretty much only used for games at this times.

[–] Xero@infosec.pub 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] EugeneNine@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Win 11 it just works for me

[–] Moghul@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago
[–] ttk@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

mac for working, windows for gaming, linux for serving

Usually Linux Mint and Windows 11, but recently installed Manjaro on my Linux partitions to check it out.

[–] tvmole@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] farmer_bobathan@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

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