Windows 11. And I hate it.
Yes, I did try Linux. I had a great time. But unfortunately my Windows installation always breaks whenever I dual boot it with Linux.

Did you try installing linux on a partition
Yes, I partitioned my drive and installed Linux on that (I only have one SSD installed, it's a laptop)
Maybe once I get my desktop fixed I'll try it again. That one isn't "officially" compatible with Windows 11.
oh i think its better to install on another ssd
Yeah, that's what I've been told.
I'll check if my lappy has another SSD slot, because if not, then... dual booting with a broken Windows installation is my only option.

Work and personal: KDE Neon
Home media/gaming server: Bazzite
Which one?
Windows, primarily, because I need shit to just function. And there's no competition to OneNote and Office in Open Source land.
But I have multiple VM's and containers running lots of Linux stuff - on Linux boxes because it just can't be beat as a Host. Even VMware is Linux-based.
And there's no competition to OneNote and Office in Open Source land.
I'm curious what is missing between OneNote and something like Obsidian or any of the other notes apps.
I completely understand office though, i find OnlyOffice good enough that i run it even on my Windows setups but I can imagine there being features, keybindings, etc that are not present in any of the alternatives. I've also seen a lot of people switch to using Google Docs exclusively since it helps with collaboration anyway, but I hate how poorly it runs...
because I need shit to just function.
Yeah some things are just not there yet too, like VR... So understandable
I don't know myself but all I know is that OneNote fucking sucks. It's the lamest most boring cloud attached fucking notepad app ever.
Only boring ass project managers use that shit, and there are dozens of better note applications than OneNote, but these people won't even give them a try because it would require them to admit that onenote sucks.
I installed Linux on two Windows laptops so they would function better.

Nobara!
Me too, love it
Win 10. But I have Hyper-V enabled so I guess it is technically Hyper-V as the os and windows as the guest os.
Windows 10. Flirting with mint
Kubuntu on the desktops, Linux Mint on the laptops.
Debian 12 (Backports)
I recently switched from Windows 10 to Nobara Linux and it's amazing, right now I'm playing gta 4 which only required some tinkering to work without issues. Highly recommended

Arch on my home laptop and travel laptop, Win10 on my pc
Fedora and Fedora Server for my server.
I used to dual boot windows but after the 4th time it nuked my boot partition, I deleted it and did a fresh install. I really only used it to play one non linux game which was Halo Infinite, which was not really that fun tbh.

Debian Stable. I have a W10 partition but I don't boot into it very often. We're talking about a few times per quarter.
Windows 11 on my Surface Pro, Windows 10 on my main computer and bedroom computer (the smartest tv is a dumb tv connected to a cheap minipc), and Linux Mint on my server and old laptop.
Home: Endeavor OS
Work: Win11 (debloated)
