On my Laptop, Arch Linux On my desktop, FreeBSD
Windows 10, but I use Arch on my laptop. I'll be switching the desktop over to linux when Win10 stops getting updated.
Arch and Windows dual boot. Windows is only for certain games which don't work on linux because of anti-cheat. Arch is for everything else.
Windblows for games/Ms wurd
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.
On my laptop I have Windows 11 installed since thatβs what it came with. Iβm sure Iβll migrate it to Linux eventually but itβs new.
On my desktop I mostly bounce between Ubuntu and Arch though just installed Pop OS today to see what the craze is all about.
I use a heavily stripped down version of Windows 10. I plan to move to FedoraKDE when 10 is sunsetted though
Windows 11 Pro. It has been solid, though I am mildly annoyed that updates keep changing little things.
ChromeOS on an ASUS Chromebox 3, my daily driver.
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.
Fedora 38
macOS for both work and personal (Personal M1 Mini, Work issued MBP).
Windows 10 (updates off) Torrent PC is Linux mint Media device is Linux Ubuntu I run on Bugles
Linux Mint 21.2. it's a solid OS and supports all the games I like to play. I started and ran a business on it as well, so I have no neee for windows anymore besides proprietary software and hardware. I just dual boot in those cases.
Dual/Triple boot with Fedora/Windows 10
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 10
my work computer is a mac, my desktop runs arch linux (btw). It dual boots windows 10 but I havenβt used it in months, even then it was just because I had a thought I hadnβt updated it in a while. I can boot the windows partition in virtualbox in linux if needed.
I use Arch with XFCE. I also have a dual boot Manjaro as backup. Also XFCE.
Debian and FreeBSD
Artix Linux.
Server has Linux with a Linux VM and a Windows VM. Gaming/WFH workstation has Windows.
debian testing
Artix Linux btw^2
