Home: Endeavor OS

Work: Win11 (debloated)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Work laptop is macOS and I don't get a choice; end up spending most of my time in emacs to pretend I'm using a different OS.

Primary desktop is Gentoo and I spend a lot of time playing with it. Also got an old thinkpad with Debian, and lastly an old Windows 10 desktop which is going to be put out to pasture soon.

Windows 11 across the board, though I'm trying to migrate. I used Ubuntu as a daily driver in the early 2010s but I was soured by the retirement of Unity and was disappointed by the gaming at the time. These days I've liked the idea of KDE Neon, but I've got a lot to do to be ready for a full migration. I'd take my time with it but the AI stuff has rushed me to move faster.

There is ubuntu unity which is a ubuntu flavor The ai thing I blocked it in windows not to long ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm vaguely familiar with it, but it seems more like maintaining Unity 7 than continuing development of Unity 8. I've also seen UBports Unity8 which seems to have taken a backseat to maintaining Ubuntu Touch so I'm not holding my breath, but thank you!

The Copilot and Recall integrations just happen to be the straw that broke the camel's back. I've been wanting to make all my software as FOSS as possible, and the AI stuff has just been a catalyst. Especially for Adobe, I don't have a good replacement for Photoshop as GIMP has been a nightmare to use and Photopea isn't FOSS but I won't be using any Adobe products ever again.

There is krita but that app is focusing on artists rather then image manipulation I also tried going all foss but its pretty hard

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah, Photoshop is honestly a hard piece of software to replace because it frankly does so many different things quite well. Most of those things can be covered by breaking out into multiple software, like how I use Krita for illustration and Aseprite for pixel art, but yeah general image manipulation is really the main thing left.

Fedora / Windows 11

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

On my gaming systems I still use Windows 10.

On my internet browsing and writing systems I'm using ubuntu or linux mint (debian)

All my retro computers use period correct operating systems like (ms-dos 6.22 with) windows 3.11, 95, 98, 2000, XP.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

sure its still supported

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Pop! It's treated me well for over a year now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Same. Well almost. I haven't been switched for a year yet. I think I started to with this build (new machine has never seen Windows) back in October and got a snag that I didn't have time to deal with for a while.

I finally finished it up sometime after the new year started, but can't remember when exactly. Either January or February.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Mint + xfce

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Arch and Android

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Arch-KDE Plasma and Win11(personal and work respectively) on my desktop. Win10/manjaro on laptop.

I don't suggest arch as a first forray into Linux, requires basic CLI experience for setup and maintenance.

Its hard to setup yeah thought it was easier

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah the wiki is THOROUGH, syep-by-step, and will get you set up in most cases. With some Linux/CLI experience it can be straightforward, just not while also learning bash. You do need to be the type who can RTFM so to say.

Not nearly as difficult as it used to be. (Which is why i used to use Kubuntu many years ago)

Pop on my desktop, Arch on my laptop, Debian on my really old laptop

I taste the rainbow myself. Here are my PCs and their OS's:

  • HP Thin Client t520: Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC IOT with Remote Desktop to my university's AVD instances. May downgrade to 10 IoT due to poor performance
  • Gaming PC: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC IOT 21H2
  • ThinkPad T480: Windows 10 Pro, may replace with IoT in the future
  • Latitude E6420: Linux Mint Debian Edition 6
  • iMac 21.5" 2015: Dual boot macOS Ventura and Windows 11

My study is extremely Windows focused (expects use of Microsoft Project, everything submitted in .docx, etc.) and while it isn't impossible to do it without Windows, I also don't want to impede academic progress with macOS or Linux.

However, I have my Latitude which I've been using the most recently for all other study not requiring Windows, and my iMac I got from ewaste for doing anything needing macOS like jail breaking and syncing music to my iPhone 4s
