OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with Plasma, but once I get a new-iah PC I'll probably get back to my beloved Gentoo. :-)

Arch.

MacOS Ventura on the iMac, Manjaro on the laptop.

EndeavourOS, been on Linux for 25 years

Debian

Debian. On every computer with a physical keyboard. And all servers. Mainly because of philosophy, stability, release cycle (2 years for major updates which I find neither too longnkor too short) and having gotten (is that proper english lol) used to it.

Linux mint for almost 2 years now. Finally stopped dual booting windows about a month ago after realizing I was running out of things I knew how to do better with microsoft.

Arch Linux on my desktop, laptop and server. It just works and I don't have to deal with any issues, I've been using it since 2015 and I found it to be the easiest and most rock solid OS I've ever used. I use Syncthing to sync files across all the computers. Then there's my work laptop, my employer provides Windows 10/11 and Ubuntu, so I chose Ubuntu.

TIL that KDE Plasma is probably the most represented DE on Lemmy 😍

I use Windows 11 and honestly am pretty happy with it. My laptop runs on fedora. I would Consider Switching to Linux on my Desktop but i do music production and some of my soft and Hardware (NI maschine mk3 and some VSTs) dont run on Linux. As long as that is the case, Switching doesnt make sense for me.

Edit: if anyone has suggestions how to get maschine, vsts from NI komplete and VSTs in General to run on Linux, i would be super happy. As a second DAW i usw bitwig which supports linux but as all my other stuff is windows Based im pretty much tied to Microsoft

Windows 11 because I'm too lazy to try and figure out how to run applicationa/games on a Linux based OS.

Windows 10, even despite me being a software developer. It's just more convenient than to bother with Linux, and Android Studio works on Windows just fine

Gentoo (Linux).

Nobara Linux

Debian Testing. I ran Ubuntu for years but really didn't like the changes in GNOME they made, decided to try Debian Non-free and I've loved it.

NixOS!

Windows 10 BUT im using chris titus's powershell script and winaero tweaker and openshell to remove all windows apps and customize the os, plus chocolatey automation and fastcopy scripts to automate my installation process. i havent timed it but on a good day i could reinstall windows and have my system up and running in the hour, including formatting and installing windows 10 to the disk.

Arch Linux

MacOS Ventura because my industry is Mac-based.

As a webdev, I'm loving Win11 with WSL2. The new Terminal is great and Powertools make organizing windows on my ultrawide easy. I've had to use exclusively Macs for a while for my last company and was not really a fan.

Manjaro

Ubuntu, it has a great community and works well. I don't need more

Wow, am I the only ChromeOS user here? That surprises me

Wouldn't this thread be super biased to Linux users since those who use linux as a daily driver tend to talk about it more often than win/mac users?

MacOS

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

I use Garuda Gnome Linux. It's setup nearly how I would set up an arch install from scratch, just working out of the box. I've done a lot of distro hopping in the past year, but I keep going back to Garuda.

Linux (Pop OS) . It's amazing how seamless gaming has become with Steam and Proton. Never thought I'd use Linux on my main PC but here we are! There are still issues but hopefully it keeps improving

Windows 10 primarily due to work requirements. I have a laptop with Xubuntu for personal use.

Linux. Pop!_OS

Kubuntu FTW

I am ChromeOS user with Debian linux in terminal.

The funny thing is I am beginning to struggle using the chromebook (Acer 714) for actual work, because of increasing hardware requirements of my everyday software.

I know it is an everlasting road to disappointment, but needed to take it out of my chest.

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

Fedora, pretty much everything I want from a Linux distro and desktop OS, fits my needs perfectly and what I would recommend most people.

PopOS

EndeavourOS on my desktop and Pop!_OS on my laptop (it's a System76 laptop).

Linux full-time on all of my machines since 2007 (various distros over the years, of course).

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"

Mxlinux

Laptop is an m1 Air. I needed a new laptop and I wanted the System76 lemur pro but it was during the pandemic /chip shortage and I couldn't wait. It was my first apple product and Ive been pleasantly surprised. Iterm2 is fantastic and brew is one of the best package managers I've seen. The apple silicon is incredible and I think the ML cores are something people are sleeping on. They do ML tasks faster than my Nvidia GPUs by a good margin. And unified memory means, if you spec it right, you can have access to tons of ram for ml or GPU tasks.

My desktop has been Pop for 3 years or so. All the games I play work flawlessly and are getting even better as proton gets more love.

Pop is the perfect balance of everything. Cosmic is great, their kernel is very recent, they have the latest gfx card drivers, apt flatpaks means you have access to everything you'd need and it's rock solid stable. The upgrades have been flawless and their docs are incredibly useful.

I have windows lingering on a drive for dual boot but I haven't logged in to that other than to run updates in 1-2 years.
