I spend most browsing time on my ipad, but my main computer is a mac, where i do serious stuff like emacs and factorio. Work stuff not mentioned.
Windows 10 primarily, dual boot with Linux Mint.
I'd like to say I want to switch to maining Linux when Win10 goes EOL, but I make music with LMMS as a hobby and tried to switch that to Linux to get hooking multiple tracks to a single plugin to work...but the VST I wanted to use with that didn't work at all on Linux, so I have recent memory of compatibility issues with Linux. I'd probably already be maining Linux if I didn't game.
I stuck with Windows 7 far longer than I should've. Windows 10 just rubbed me wrong with all the unrequested changes every feature update and privacy issues.
Then I found Windows 10 LTSC and I'm not going back.
Same! Finally wiped it and installed arch only like 6 months ago.. yikes.
Windows 11 and iOS. I could probably figure out what Iβm doing on Linux but donβt have the energy to bother. I have used a bunch of the debloter scripts to get rid of Microsoftβs garbage.
Vanilla OS but trying to learn about the differences between blendOS and Vanilla OS
KDE Ubuntu, I like it so much more than gnome. I've never tried another Linux and I have so much customization set up with with KDE that switching to somewhere else is really not appealing.
I use a heavily stripped down version of Windows 10. I plan to move to FedoraKDE when 10 is sunsetted though
MacOS. Used Archlinux for many years, but nowadays my pc is being used solely for sim racing.
Fedora 38
Windows 11 for my Surface & Gaming PC. Probably gonna try out SurfaceLinux soon though since the Surface Pro 7 is starting to show its age.
But I have a Dell XPS 13 that's running Ubuntu Jammy now though. I alternate thru all 3 depending on the day.
arch Linux obviously because I'm a fucking genius ass hipster underwear fruitcake
Windows 11 for main (gaming) PC.
Pop_os for work laptop.
Windows 11 for my gaming PC and laptop. Windows 10 for my work machine. Ubuntu server for my servers.
EndeavourOS KDE / Windows 11 dual boot. Linux for everything else and windows for gaming / when i am uncertain that it works on linux
Home: Windows 11, work OSX. I moved my personal computer to Linux a couple years ago (I've been using Linux since the mid 90s), but game support was an issue. I'll try again soon. Windows is a necessary evil that I'd like not to be necessary.
Windblows for games/Ms wurd
macOS for both work and personal (Personal M1 Mini, Work issued MBP).
Windows 11. Installing Linux has been a PITA for me for some reason. Have tried to install Fedora and Iβve had to go down a rabbit hole of troubleshooting.
Fedora Silverblue and Windows 11 (for games I canβt get to run on Fedora).
Windows 11 Pro with WSL2 Ubuntu
PowerShell is my preferred terminal shell on any OS and I've never found a Linux desktop I get along with (don't get me started on the bloated Fisher Price playcenter that is MacOS), so Windows 11 with Ubuntu in WSL is perfect for me.
