Main PC is Win 10 for gaming and audio production. MacOS for work.

Windows 10 enterprise msdn. Unfortunately it looks like eol is pretty soon. I'm not liking windows 11 at all. Surprisingly this time pro and enterprise have the same eol dates, or have I read it wrong. Microsoft usually supports enterprise for a bit longer.

LTSC is to 2027 but I think there maybe some compatibility issues as it's not really designed for being a desktop OS. Might give that a whirl a bit later.

My partner and I have been on Manjaro for 3 years and never looked back

Pop OS from the start of the year. The Steam Deck showed be his far Linux gaming has come, no issues running the things I play. Glad to be rid of Windows

I don't think there's a single "main" computer anymore. My home computer is Linux Mint Cinnamon. My mobile computer (which I use nearly as much as my desktop OS) is Android.

My next smartphone is going to allow installing a privacy-respecting custom ROM (because Linux on mobile really isn't there yet). Once I do that, I'll focus on f-droid apps only. Something to look forward to.

Windows 10 + linux mint dual booted on my desktop which is my current main, but I have windows 11 on my laptop that will become my main computer because college. Unfortunately windows 11 is required, i dont even know if stuff like solidworks that i will have to use would run on linux. I am also just more used to windows in general

[–] Lolors17@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Fedora, first I just went with it to try it, but now I stick with it. It's great because things just work, and I haven't come across problems I didn't know how to fix.

Windows 10 Pro, I'm waiting for end of life in a couple of years to migrate to Linux. Depending on how it goes, it'll probably be a one way trip.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Manjaro on my PC and Fedora on my laptop.

I've been using windows for years now and I don't think I'll ever switch to another OS, Linux or otherwise.

[–] TurianHammer@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Windows 11. I don't especially like Windows 11 but dev and gaming is pretty great on Windows. Visual Studio is pretty important for me too.

I use Kubuntu for the kde plasma desktop. It made the switch from windows much easier. I dual boot and occasionally use windows if I want to play a game which doesn’t have Linux support

[–] Luvon@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

macOS, and after having to use virtual desktops on windows for work, I appreciate macs spaces implementation so much more.

I have windows 11 on my gaming computer and that’s fine with a third party clipboard manager, and powertoys.

Windows 10 in the office even with powertoys and a third party clipboard manager still annoys me.

The virtual desktop includes all monitors as one desktop. If you switch one screen to a different desktop it switches all of them. On my Mac I can switch per screen with a swipe.

Also the virtual desktop overview is laggy so moving windows between virtual desktops is a pain. Furthermore in that overview you can only move windows between the same monitors virtual desktop, you can move across monitors for whatever reason.

I've been using Windows 11 and Ubuntu with dual boot on my laptop, but a few days ago I tried Linux Mint, and it's awesome. Now I plan to switch from Ubuntu to Linux Mint.

[–] jacfr0st@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Debian Unstable on my laptops and desktop, Debian Stable on my server, Windows 10 is dual booted on my desktop for gaming.

[–] roux@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I've been on Mint with Cinnamon for the last 4 years or so but before that was a long stint of Ubuntu/Gnome after distro hopping. I am considering moving upstream to Debian or switching back to Arch in the future.

[–] dosse91@lemmy.trippy.pizza 3 points 1 year ago

Arch with KDE on my desktop where I play games and fuck around, Manjaro KDE on my work laptop, Debian on my servers. Doesn't get much better than that.

Debian Bookworm KDE - though I have to admit that it's not my final destination when it comes to distro hopping, I guess. Currently thinking about giving Zorin OS a go.

Fedora, with proton, I waited for my steam deck, and then once I realized how good it felt, I made the jump for my main computer, I haven't looked back to Windows yet.

[–] Chadsmo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The last version of Windows I used on a computer I owned / own is 3.1. I’ve been on MacOS ever since and will continue to be for as long as I’m able.

I daily drove Linux for 15 years. OSX for about five, and now windows since WSL.

It's easier to get the Linux stuff I like in Windows than it is to get the window stuff I like in Linux. WSL provides me all the tools I need to manage my Linux servers in a reasonably performant package.

Windows cause I wanna play games with friends without crap going more wrong than usual

Primary PC, runs windows 10. I have lots of various software development related programs which just works here. They don't work as well on linux.

All of my servers (Except blue iris), are running linux. Mostly ubuntu.

The other various gaming PCs around the house are running Ubuntu too. (Kubuntu to be more specific)

[–] hare_ware@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

Arch & Windows 10 on my desktop, OpenSuse Tumbleweed on the laptop.

[–] GutterPunch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Installed: Windows 10, Windows 7, Lubuntu LTS, ZealOS. VMs for MacOS, Android-x86, and Haiku.

Grub roulette between Ubuntu studio 23 something, nixos, and ancient Ubuntu studio

[–] kabynbojski@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Windows 10. I primarily use it for gaming and development. I also have a Linux box for home automation with Home Assistant so I guess you could argue I use that the most passively.
