Ubuntu, it has a great community and works well. I don't need more

Popos on my personal laptop and Debian on my workstation at the office.

Windows 11, but I want to eventually go back to Linux, waiting on better fractional scaling then I think I can head back.

I’ve used Debian Linux as my primary home desktop since 2005 and at work since 2008. I’ve never had a job that required a Windows machine and at this point it’s a deal breaker for me.

I specifically use Debian stable. In my first decade of using Linux I wanted the bleeding edge, cool stuff, but for me nothing interesting has happened to my machine since 2015.

I love that everyone saying Windows feels like they gotta justify why they’re using it lol. I’m running Windows 10 on my desktop and Windows 11 on my laptop.

I am ChromeOS user with Debian linux in terminal.

The funny thing is I am beginning to struggle using the chromebook (Acer 714) for actual work, because of increasing hardware requirements of my everyday software.

I know it is an everlasting road to disappointment, but needed to take it out of my chest.

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

I use Manjaro. I know not everyone likes it but it's an easy way to get into Arch based distros and i really like the rolling updates instead of incremental. I still use Ubuntu for servers at the moment.

EndeavourOS, been on Linux for 25 years

Windows 11

Desktop: Windows 10

Laptop: MacOS

Mobile: iOS

And I use an iPad for DND character sheets/notes and generally running sessions for my players.

UBUNTU <3

Wouldn't this thread be super biased to Linux users since those who use linux as a daily driver tend to talk about it more often than win/mac users?

Linux (Pop OS) . It's amazing how seamless gaming has become with Steam and Proton. Never thought I'd use Linux on my main PC but here we are! There are still issues but hopefully it keeps improving

Not proud to say Windows LTSC, but at least it's better than retail Windows.

Though I have run FreeBSD on certain systems like for building embedded software at the hobby level, but that's not something I use all the time. It's my favorite OS though, elegance in its design.

PopOS

Windows 10. And seeing the replies of our fellow fediversers, I think I’m not mainstream here 🤣

Wow, am I the only ChromeOS user here? That surprises me

Arch Linux on my desktop, laptop and server. It just works and I don't have to deal with any issues, I've been using it since 2015 and I found it to be the easiest and most rock solid OS I've ever used. I use Syncthing to sync files across all the computers. Then there's my work laptop, my employer provides Windows 10/11 and Ubuntu, so I chose Ubuntu.

I've been on Mint with Cinnamon for the last 4 years or so but before that was a long stint of Ubuntu/Gnome after distro hopping. I am considering moving upstream to Debian or switching back to Arch in the future.

Manjaro

MacOS Ventura on the iMac, Manjaro on the laptop.

TIL that KDE Plasma is probably the most represented DE on Lemmy 😍

I use Windows 11 and honestly am pretty happy with it. My laptop runs on fedora. I would Consider Switching to Linux on my Desktop but i do music production and some of my soft and Hardware (NI maschine mk3 and some VSTs) dont run on Linux. As long as that is the case, Switching doesnt make sense for me.

Edit: if anyone has suggestions how to get maschine, vsts from NI komplete and VSTs in General to run on Linux, i would be super happy. As a second DAW i usw bitwig which supports linux but as all my other stuff is windows Based im pretty much tied to Microsoft

Windows 10, even despite me being a software developer. It's just more convenient than to bother with Linux, and Android Studio works on Windows just fine

Arch Linux

Windows 10 BUT im using chris titus's powershell script and winaero tweaker and openshell to remove all windows apps and customize the os, plus chocolatey automation and fastcopy scripts to automate my installation process. i havent timed it but on a good day i could reinstall windows and have my system up and running in the hour, including formatting and installing windows 10 to the disk.

Debian Testing. I ran Ubuntu for years but really didn't like the changes in GNOME they made, decided to try Debian Non-free and I've loved it.

I've been using FreeBSD for close to 15 years now as my main operating system. Very rarely I have to boot into windows.

MacOS Ventura because my industry is Mac-based.

I used manjaro for quite some time but the aur packages being out of date caused some major issues so I switched to archlinux. I've been happy with it and have been using it for about a year now.

Nobara Linux

MacOS and I'm certainly never going away from that. Just perfect for my use case with nice unix base and a great gui. best of both worlds

Linux

Opensuse Tumbleweed

Debian

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

My main gaming PC is Windows 10. Other devices have varying flavors of Ubuntu Linux.

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.

Linux Mint with gnome desktop

Ubuntu Server for my self-hosted cloud service

NixOS!
