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.

Fedora, pretty much everything I want from a Linux distro and desktop OS, fits my needs perfectly and what I would recommend most people.

On my main computer I use Arch. My laptop is a MacBook, so that one runs macOS.

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

Fedora Workstation. Everything just works out of the box, even AAC codec with Bose headphone.

Endeavour OS

Linux. Pop!_OS

Windows 10 primarily due to work requirements. I have a laptop with Xubuntu for personal use.

Manjaro Linux, also for my gaming. Booted up my secondary Windows drive yesterday on my main computer, just to update it.

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.

Ubuntu. I've used Windows since v1 (yeah I'm an oldie), played with Linux on raspberry pi's etc. but had to use Ubuntu when I joined a digital team and over time switched back to windows less and less to now it's just for odd gaming.

Dual boot NixOS for productivity and Windows for games. I do also have a macbook that I rarely use.

I duel boot. I use Mint 99% of the time & Win10 for that 1% of software/games I can't get working.

Manjaro on my PC and Fedora on my laptop.

Windows 10

Rocking Endeavour OS right now. It's been working well for me so far.

EndeavourOS on my desktop and Pop!_OS on my laptop (it's a System76 laptop).

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.

ArcH, moving to NixOS

Nixos on my PC, NixOS on my laptop, NixOS on my raspberry pi

Also steamOS on my steam deck , don't see any reason to change that

I also have windows dual booted on my laptop as a secondary os but I boot it around once every couple weeks at most

Heavy gamer here. My main Distro is EndeavourOS, came from Linux Mint months ago. My homelab runs on Ubuntu Server.

As a webdev, I'm loving Win11 with WSL2. The new Terminal is great and Powertools make organizing windows on my ultrawide easy. I've had to use exclusively Macs for a while for my last company and was not really a fan.

Debian Linux (stable)

NetBSD :)

Pop_OS!

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

Windows 10 on my main machine and Lubuntu on my home server

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.

Gentoo on my desktop, and Fedora on my laptop.

Windows 11

NixOS. I distrohopped for years but now I've landed and it has been several years since I felt any urge to explore alternatives (maybe with the exception of Guix, which is basically the same idea but everything is in Guile Scheme (Lisp)).

I'm never going back to a mutable OS if I can help it.

I use Gentoo. It's nice and comfy and I can actually control what I want to do on there.

Insert compile firefox meme

Arch with i3wm

Windows on desktop, Mac on laptop (altho likely switching to Framework with windows soon)

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.

FreeBSD 13 and Fedora KDE spin.

Windows 10 but I do most of my work in an ubuntu 22.04 VM in virtualbox. But use windows for games and casual use.

Server runs ubuntu 20.04 server which has a bunch of services for my network and my main storage.

Laptop runs ubuntu 22.04 desktop. It's an old laptop so I'm using ubuntu to extend its life.

Windows, because gaming. Sticking with 10 as long as possible (LTSC), maybe 12 will be worth upgrading to

Fedora Linux with either Gnome or Sway depending on the device.

Arch/KDE on my laptop which is the tinkering machine, Pop!OS and Windows on the desktop that other people use and I'm not allowed to break.

Ubuntu at work, Arch at home. Having a linux machine at work has been an incredible upgrade.
