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.

Me too. Debian stable at home and on my servers. Windows 10 at work because we are required to use their locked down OS.

Debian is rock solid. Turning it to be the best laptop-server I've run so far.

I still use Windows 11 for gaming though :(. Just can't be bothered with the minor annoyances Linux can often cause. I'm glad it's getting better though
