Ubuntu for quite a few years but I'm going back to Debian next.

Windows 11 unfortunately. I haven't found a suitable way to jump to Linux.

Arch right now. Probably going to give NixOS a try in the near future though.

Solus Plasma, nothing really gives me such a home. I tried others but nope

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

Ubuntu for personal main laptop/desktop/servers.

For work Mac OS because they made me choose between Windows or Mac.

MacOS with a tiling window manager for work, Win10 on PC for gaming and Linux on all servers. I would run Linux for work if Office, Adobe and esp. Outlook ran on it, MacOS with Yabai + SKHD is the closest I can get to a Linux experience while still being functional for work.

My main system is running Windows 10

It works great for everything I need and as long as I don't enable the TPM in my motherboard settings I don't have to worry about it upgrading itself to Windows 11. Unlike when my system upgraded itself from 8.1 to 10. That was a hard one due to driver issues with my Bluetooth card at the time.

I use Gentoo because it's quite customizable. What's more, building a whole system from source is more secureπŸ˜„.

Windows 11 for gaming, mac for work/dev stuff

[–] Percy@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Windows because of work and most of my steam games ran like crap on kubuntu with proton making them unplayable

Runit Artix

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Windows 11 because the games I play don't support Linux.

[–] sudostartx@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Linux Mint. When it first came out, it was the first distro where sound and wifi worked out of the box on fresh installations by shipping with restricted drivers. It made installations so easy that I just stopped trying other distros.

[–] tok3n@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Kubuntu 22.04, while my home server is Debian 12.

I just switched to Linux with PopOS about a month ago. My aging HDD is about to die because of bad sectors, and I was able to get myself a great deal on a 1 TB Crucial P3. Got it and decided to install Linux instead of cloning my HDD.

There are minor pains of using Linux over Windows and trying to run Windows programs on it, but it is so much better now compared to even just a year or so ago.

Kubuntu, but strongly considering Pop OS.

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

Windows 10. Have proxmox setup with Ubuntu and a few other operating systems.

[–] ricecake@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

[–] ozoned@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Fedora KDE feels like the perfect blend of customization and stability for me. Oh, and the packages are up to date. I have been on Linux since the early 2000's and finally stopped distrohoping with Fedora about 1 year ago.

[–] VictorPrincipum@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

MacOS of course, or Win11, or Garuda. Depends on how I feel or what I need to do. No it was not made by Apple.

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Win10, but I swear if it asks me to try out Office 365 one more time, I am putting some Linux distro on there and not going back (except I sometimes need Windows due to work requirements).

Windows 11

Testing out Pop OS though and if it is not a pain in the butt, I'll be switching over to it.

Arch with KDE on Desktop, Arch with custom DE (based on i3) on my Laptop. However I consider switching to KDE on my Laptop due to updates requiring me to fix things quite often.

[–] demian@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Opensuse Leap. No worries.
