Linux Mint with KDE Plasma.
Rocking Endeavour OS right now. It's been working well for me so far.
Endeavour OS
Linux. Pop!_OS
Fedora Silverblue. But since Fedora aims to include telemetry (although in a reasonable way) by version 40, I'll switch soon to something else. I feel it might be time to give BSD an honest attempt.
Linux Mint. Never needed anything else, and hopefully it'll stay this way..
Windows 10 primarily due to work requirements. I have a laptop with Xubuntu for personal use.
Mxlinux
Debian Linux (stable)
Heavy gamer here. My main Distro is EndeavourOS, came from Linux Mint months ago. My homelab runs on Ubuntu Server.
Manjaro
Main PC is Win 10 for gaming and audio production. MacOS for work.
Linux (Arch with KDE Plasma)
Linux openSUSE
On my main computer I use Arch. My laptop is a MacBook, so that one runs macOS.
Fedora Workstation. Everything just works out of the box, even AAC codec with Bose headphone.
For personal stuff (mostly development and general browsing) I use PopOS, have been using it for 4 years now with no problems whatsoever.
For work I use macOS because forced.
Will never use a Windows machine again. I tried my wife's Windows 11 machine, and it fucking SUCKS!!
For gaming I have a Steam Deck which is SteamOS.
Linux all the way!
I use arch btw. I am waiting for vanilla os v2 for my laptop though, I think it would be great for a device which I want to "just work". Rn it has Ubuntu with some dell repos which have not been updated since Ubuntu 20.
Windows 11 because I'm too lazy to try and figure out how to run applicationa/games on a Linux based OS.
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.
Fedora, pretty much everything I want from a Linux distro and desktop OS, fits my needs perfectly and what I would recommend most people.
I've been using windows for years now and I don't think I'll ever switch to another OS, Linux or otherwise.
Windows 11
Nobara linux on my media center/gaming PC. The same on my laptop currently, but I'm a habitual distro-hopper, so I may be on NixOS or Vanilla or maybe Void next week. Whichever I happen to be on, there's a 90% chance I'll be using the Gnome DE.
Pop_OS!
EndeavourOS
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.
Dual boot NixOS for productivity and Windows for games. I do also have a macbook that I rarely use.
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 Mint with gnome desktop
Ubuntu Server for my self-hosted cloud service
Win 11 because of games, music production and other windows-only tools (TIHI). Some flavor of Debian everywhere else.
Manjaro Linux, also for my gaming. Booted up my secondary Windows drive yesterday on my main computer, just to update it.
Windows 10. No idea why anyone is using Win11.
I've tried Linux every few years for the last few decades and it's never been at a point where I can switch. I am in the process of trying again, however.
Started today trying to dual boot it on a Windows laptop that has a boot SSD and data HDD. Tried resizing the HDD and installing Nobara and can't get the machine to boot into Grub (the suggested fix on their site didn't work, possibly because of the two physical drives). Searching for a solution was fruitless and I'm honestly over it already. I want an OS, not a hobby.
The very definition of insanity right here. There is ALWAYS something that doesn't work and I'm not a fucking idiot but I'm not a developer either. Linux fans act like people on Windows have no excuse not to switch but I've been trying since the 90s and Linux just does everything it can to frustrate me. God knows how someone who's not tech savvy is supposed to figure anything out. /rant
Windows 10 on my main machine and Lubuntu on my home server
Windows 10
Currently on ArcoLinux on both my desktop and laptop (although they both have windows installs that I basically never use except for the rare case I need windows software or games)
I duel boot. I use Mint 99% of the time & Win10 for that 1% of software/games I can't get working.
Currently win10 but am definitely getting outta that ecosystem in favor of a Linux distro like Linux Mint next upgrade. If not mint, then I don't know.
NetBSD :)
