Has anyone been living on https://vanillaos.org? If so, what's it been like for you? The upcoming 2.0 built on Debian looks very interesting :)
Windows. It is the only machine that uses this operating system.
most recently I use Windows 10 in my main desktop
I use older windows as well various Linux for my Virtual Machines guestOS, latter is also for my Steam Deck
Main desktop is Windows 10, Asus ROG Ally is Windows 11, and my phone is a Google Pixel 7 Pro, so Android. But I've definitely gone through tinkering around with different Linux distro phases over the last 20+ years!
The same as all my other computers: NixOS.
I am lazy and this way they all run exactly the same config.
NixOS ftw! xD
Linux Mint Cinnamon, it just works without any extra faffing about. Been using it for my course for nearly 2 years without any problems!
Windows 11 is my newest "main" computer. I also just got a nice Win 11 laptop for my new business.
Though my "working" IT laptop boots with both Windows 10 and Ubuntu.
Arch Linux. I also dual boot Windows 10 but 99% of my uptime is on Arch.
Btw I use arch. Actually Void Linux with bspwm, but I wanted too say it one time. And windows on the gaming machine.
Fedora Workstation 38. Dual boot Windows on a separate drive, but this is solely for gaming. I know gaming on Linux has gotten better, but I want the best experience, which is much easier on Windows.
I'm using Fedora KDE at the moment.
Excellent choice ๐๐ป
Windows 11 on my main Desktop, mainly because anti cheat. Debian on my Raspberry Pi. And SteamOS obviously on my Steam Deck.
I used to have strong opinions about operating systems. Installed various Linux builds and boot loaders to run different OS's. Etc
Now I use windows. I can't even tell you what version without looking. 10 I guess? Windows finally "just works" and I haven't had a BSOD in forever so I really don't care.
OpenSuse Tumbleweed
EndeavourOS
That's what I run too. It's a dead easy distro to get along with.
Windows.. for gaming on my desktop and Photoshop on my laptop.. I know there's alternatives, but not without compromise
I've got 3 main computers because I'm a tech hoarder. Ubuntu MATE, Linux Mint, and Pop!_OS with XFCE. I've also got a little craptop for distro hopping, currently it's got Debian 12. My work provided a Windows laptop but I only have to bring it to meetings.
arch Linux obviously because I'm a fucking genius ass hipster underwear fruitcake
I spend most browsing time on my ipad, but my main computer is a mac, where i do serious stuff like emacs and factorio. Work stuff not mentioned.
Windows 11 Pro with WSL2 Ubuntu
PowerShell is my preferred terminal shell on any OS and I've never found a Linux desktop I get along with (don't get me started on the bloated Fisher Price playcenter that is MacOS), so Windows 11 with Ubuntu in WSL is perfect for me.
I use a heavily stripped down version of Windows 10. I plan to move to FedoraKDE when 10 is sunsetted though
MacOS. Used Archlinux for many years, but nowadays my pc is being used solely for sim racing.
Fedora 38
