Windows 10, but I use Arch on my laptop. I'll be switching the desktop over to linux when Win10 stops getting updated.

Been using Garuda distro based on arch family and have loved it so far. Also has some cool gaming emulators, compatibility layers options too

Server has Linux with a Linux VM and a Windows VM. Gaming/WFH workstation has Windows.

Windows 11 on the main desktop for gaming reasons. Currently Pop_OS on the laptop, considering moving to Arch. My servers all run Debian or Ubuntu.

EndeavourOS, it's based on Arch Linux.

Alpine Linux on most of my servers, if want something else for some reason Ubuntu.

[–] Sigurre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Windows 11 on my gaming rig, macOS for all other computing tasks. If I could reliably game on a Mac with good quality, I would. I did some Linux gaming for awhile and was really glad that it had come a long way, but I like not having to think about any kind of technical troubleshooting (usually) when gaming on Windows. And the overall usability of a unix OS is hard to beat.

[–] Runfour@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Windows on pc, macos on mac. But some period in the every year i have to install bunch of linux as a distrohopper.

[–] Carter@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Windows 10 unfortunately. Will go back to Linux some day but I can't be bothered at the moment.

[–] Senpai@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I use Debian 12 on my main pc, and on my laptop I use a OS that is based on Debian

[–] blacklionpt@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Using Fedora Workstation 38 KDE Spin on both my personal desktop and work laptop, with the ocasional Windows 10 VM for some shenanigans! Has been working great for me!

[–] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Artix Linux btw^2

[–] JCSpark@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Linux Mint 21.2. it's a solid OS and supports all the games I like to play. I started and ran a business on it as well, so I have no neee for windows anymore besides proprietary software and hardware. I just dual boot in those cases.

[–] Ocelot@lemmies.world 1 points 1 year ago

my work computer is a mac, my desktop runs arch linux (btw). It dual boots windows 10 but I haven’t used it in months, even then it was just because I had a thought I hadn’t updated it in a while. I can boot the windows partition in virtualbox in linux if needed.

EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma. Plus Tiny11 in a WM whem I need to run some Windows programs that don't work with Wine.

Linux. Got fed up with the Windows 11 release.

[–] odium@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Arch and Windows dual boot. Windows is only for certain games which don't work on linux because of anti-cheat. Arch is for everything else.

Windows 11 for gaming PC, Windows 10 for work laptop, Mac OS for personal laptop and Fedora for my old laptop. Also using both Ubuntu and Rocky Linux for servers. Steam Deck is still on Steam OS, Pi's use Raspberry Pi OS (aka raspbian). I don't really have a 'main' computer as it mostly depends where I am and what I'm doing.

I'm pretty comfortable with any OS at this point, even on mobile devices (both Android and iOS/iPad OS). I'm not a big fan of Windows but it pays the bills working in IT. I was in the process of migrating servers away from Ubuntu and onto Rocky (rip CentOS) although with the recent changes in Red Hat Land... We'll see how the rest of the migration progresses.
