Windows 10 at home desktop, windows 11 laptop and work desktop. Frankly I'd switch to Linux but lots of stuff didn't work on it last I checked a year ago. Wayland seems to be messing with Nvidia and kde. Last Fedora release bricked on boot of the live usb. One day Linux will be ready. I like it on my steam deck and phone. It's great for embedded systems with limited hardware differences and a focused company supporting it's development. FOSS software suites really needs an organization behind it to be successful.
Windows 11 because the games I play don't support Linux.
Ubuntu for personal main laptop/desktop/servers.
For work Mac OS because they made me choose between Windows or Mac.
Kubuntu, but strongly considering Pop OS.
Windows 11 for gaming, mac for work/dev stuff
Arch Linux
Everything else just sucks (haven't tried LFS, NixOS and Gentoo. But for sure I kinda hate Debian and Fedora based distros as they kinda suck and I mostly hate Microsoft based Operating Systems as they suck the most)
change my mind.
There are distros that I like but dont use because of the lack of convinience like Void Linux which is a great distro but doesn't have AUR.
Fedora on my laptop and windows 11 on my desktop gaming PC
Fedora, with proton, I waited for my steam deck, and then once I realized how good it felt, I made the jump for my main computer, I haven't looked back to Windows yet.
macOS
Windows 10 on my main (gaming) PC (honestly I would probably upgrade to 11 by now if I didn't need to do a BIOS update), and Ubuntu on my computer in the living room. I would try a different distro, but honestly whenever I need a guide to do something on Linux they're always written with Ubuntu and it's default commands and packages in mind so it's just easier to work with
Ubuntu for quite a few years but I'm going back to Debian next.
Primary PC, runs windows 10. I have lots of various software development related programs which just works here. They don't work as well on linux.
All of my servers (Except blue iris), are running linux. Mostly ubuntu.
The other various gaming PCs around the house are running Ubuntu too. (Kubuntu to be more specific)
My main system is running Windows 10
It works great for everything I need and as long as I don't enable the TPM in my motherboard settings I don't have to worry about it upgrading itself to Windows 11. Unlike when my system upgraded itself from 8.1 to 10. That was a hard one due to driver issues with my Bluetooth card at the time.
Archcraftπ€πΏ
Windows 10. I primarily use it for gaming and development. I also have a Linux box for home automation with Home Assistant so I guess you could argue I use that the most passively.
Windows and WSL with Ubuntu.
Installed: Windows 10, Windows 7, Lubuntu LTS, ZealOS. VMs for MacOS, Android-x86, and Haiku.
Windows 11 unfortunately. I haven't found a suitable way to jump to Linux.
Windows 11 on my main desktop PC, my laptop is a MacBook so macOS.
Currently I'm dual booting, mainly Arch for the most part and Windows 10 for my games.
I can't use proton for most of my games since all of them are latency sensitive (rhythm games).
Btw I use arch. Actually Void Linux with bspwm, but I wanted too say it one time. And windows on the gaming machine.
The same as all my other computers: NixOS.
I am lazy and this way they all run exactly the same config.
Main PC is a gaming rig with Windows 10, side PC for work is Linux Mint with a Win10 dual boot partition just in case something fucks up in Linux, but I haven't needed it in a while. I am not upgrading to Win11 for as long as I am able.
GNU/Linux.
I distrohop a not but right now im using Garuda. I also use different Debian variants in other computers.
Linux Mint
