Btw I use arch. Actually Void Linux with bspwm, but I wanted too say it one time. And windows on the gaming machine.

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.

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

Windows.. for gaming on my desktop and Photoshop on my laptop.. I know there's alternatives, but not without compromise

[–] 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.

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

Arch Linux. I also dual boot Windows 10 but 99% of my uptime is on Arch.

[–] _thebrain_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Garuda linux has been my goto on my personal computer and laptop for about 3 years now, basically since it was released on my work machine i use windows unfortunatly.

on my two little media servers, i run arch inside proxmox continers.

[–] alsimoneau@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Win10 for gaming and Manjaro for working.

I want to stop usibg Windows but I haven't made the move yet. I probly will when Win10 gets EOL.

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

Windows 11. It works, all my stuff works, it doesn't bug me, and I don't have to fiddle with it for other things to work.

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

Windows 10 at home desktop, windows 11 laptop and work desktop. Frankly I'd switch to Linux but lots of stuff didn't work on it last I checked a year ago. Wayland seems to be messing with Nvidia and kde. Last Fedora release bricked on boot of the live usb. One day Linux will be ready. I like it on my steam deck and phone. It's great for embedded systems with limited hardware differences and a focused company supporting it's development. FOSS software suites really needs an organization behind it to be successful.

Linux Mint with Cinnamon and XFCE. I also own a Mac (actually its my company computer), but i keep it for Power Point and Microsoft Office. My company is ok for me to work with my personal Linux computer, as long as i show them proof it's encrypted. Nice guys.

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

Void linux on desktop and Slackware on work laptop.

[–] cccc@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Windows 10 on my main computer, Mint on my HTPC which is getting a lot more use.

[–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

GNU/Linux.

I distrohop a not but right now im using Garuda. I also use different Debian variants in other computers.

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

Hackintosh Mojave and Win10(just gaming) for my desktop and Linux Mint on my laptop(MBP 2012). Probably going to switch to Linux instead of Mojave for the desktop soon though. I've stayed far of away of "eco systems" and don't have any workflow that doesn't use open formats, so I'm very platform agonist.

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

Win10 so I can play heavily modded skyrim

[–] Idrunkenlysignedup@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Windows 10 cause my last desktop took a shit and my job gave me a personal computer (they moved everyone to laptops so they had 'leftovers'). No hard drive, but I got a flash drive with Windows 10.

I got a pretty decent computer for the price of an SSD.

Maybe they are judging me on my porn and news habits... I watch a really really gross amount of news.

I dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 10, which came preinstalled and is pretty much only used for games at this times.

[–] curiousgoo@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

Arch Linux

Everything else just sucks (haven't tried LFS, NixOS and Gentoo. But for sure I kinda hate Debian and Fedora based distros as they kinda suck and I mostly hate Microsoft based Operating Systems as they suck the most)

change my mind.

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

There are distros that I like but dont use because of the lack of convinience like Void Linux which is a great distro but doesn't have AUR.

I have a home server and a laptop. Both run different versions of Ubuntu

[–] director@some.institute 2 points 1 year ago

Desktop is Win 10, laptop is mint.

I'm generally running a Linux distribution on my computer, as for which one - well I have a tendency to distro hop around quite a bit. As of yesterday I'm on Fedora Kinoite (though I still have my Arch partition around in case I feel I need to go exit/go back) and it has been pretty smooth thus far. I have regular Fedora KDE Workstation installed on my old Macbook Pro as well, so it makes sense I suppose!

I also have a Windows partition for when I want to play a game that either doesn't work on Linux at all (cough Destiny 2...) or doesn't work as well on Linux, at some point I'd like to completely erase it though.

I wish GeForce Now worked better on Linux as I'd just use that otherwise. But for some reason, every time I've tried a game streaming service on Linux (GFN, Stadia, Luna, even Shadow PC) it has always felt like it was performing worse than when I ran it in Windows (just to make sure there were no issues with say my network).

Mobile-wise I just use stock ("Google'd" - yes, I know...) Android on my Pixel. On my servers I tend to use RHEL based distros, but with the recent news about RedHat's shenanigans I'm wondering if I should be regretting my choice now, but I guess we'll see.
