Kubuntu on the desktops, Linux Mint on the laptops.
OpenSUSE for day to day
Windows for specific work related stuff
Which one?
Windows, primarily, because I need shit to just function. And there's no competition to OneNote and Office in Open Source land.
But I have multiple VM's and containers running lots of Linux stuff - on Linux boxes because it just can't be beat as a Host. Even VMware is Linux-based.

I'm curious what is missing between OneNote and something like Obsidian or any of the other notes apps.
I completely understand office though, i find OnlyOffice good enough that i run it even on my Windows setups but I can imagine there being features, keybindings, etc that are not present in any of the alternatives. I've also seen a lot of people switch to using Google Docs exclusively since it helps with collaboration anyway, but I hate how poorly it runs...
because I need shit to just function.
Yeah some things are just not there yet too, like VR... So understandable
I don't know myself but all I know is that OneNote fucking sucks. It's the lamest most boring cloud attached fucking notepad app ever.
Only boring ass project managers use that shit, and there are dozens of better note applications than OneNote, but these people won't even give them a try because it would require them to admit that onenote sucks.
I installed Linux on two Windows laptops so they would function better.
Nix and dual boot windows for vr only, but I might try vr on linux
donno vr is kinda obescure on linux
Debian 12 (Backports)
Debian Stable. I have a W10 partition but I don't boot into it very often. We're talking about a few times per quarter.
Fedora and Fedora Server for my server.
I used to dual boot windows but after the 4th time it nuked my boot partition, I deleted it and did a fresh install. I really only used it to play one non linux game which was Halo Infinite, which was not really that fun tbh.

happened to me i decided to install it on a 512gb nvme ssd i extracted from my old laptop
Windows 11. And I hate it.
Yes, I did try Linux. I had a great time. But unfortunately my Windows installation always breaks whenever I dual boot it with Linux.
Did you try installing linux on a partition
Yes, I partitioned my drive and installed Linux on that (I only have one SSD installed, it's a laptop)
Maybe once I get my desktop fixed I'll try it again. That one isn't "officially" compatible with Windows 11.
oh i think its better to install on another ssd
Yeah, that's what I've been told.
I'll check if my lappy has another SSD slot, because if not, then... dual booting with a broken Windows installation is my only option.
Work and personal: KDE Neon
Home media/gaming server: Bazzite
Nobara!
Me too, love it
Windows 10. Flirting with mint
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?

my gaming rig runs fedora and dual booting windows 11 (Fortnite and roblox dont need them often why epic why roblox corp and beamng will run poorly under proton) i also tried passing my ssd and booting it on a vm and it gave me a error
