Mint for my PC and Windows reluctantly for my work PC.
Arch Linux and BazziteOS
Work PC: Windows 11 (because that’s what was issued to me).
Home media / automation server: Ubuntu (latest stable distro).
Personal laptop: Mac OS Sonoma (I’ve always used Mac for personal computing. It’s comfortable).
Mint
Windows 11, but I just finally got around to switching back to Garuda Linux last night. We'll see how it goes. Still have a lot of headaches and assorted annoyances to work out.
Windows 11
I'm one of the few people who genuinely thinks it's a good OS despite MS' shenanigans
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed!
DietPi (debian) on all my ARM servers, Fedora-CoreOS on all the x86-64 servers, a pi400 as my desktop running fedora, SteamOS on the steam deck.
Of the machines I own: 2 are running Ubuntu server (one for hosting a Minecraft server, the other for testing as I'm still relatively new to Linux), a NAS running trueNAS, A laptop running dual boot Windows 10 and Kali, and my main machine running Windows 10 with Kali and Ubuntu running though WSL. As I am typing this, I am installing Mint on one of the drives of my main PC. I've been putting it off for way too long as the majority of the programs and games I use do not have Linux support.
MX Linux
My daily rn is a laptop running Win 10.
I have the parts for a new rig, I'm thinking of running Mint on that.
Desktop: pop!_os
Laptop: linux mint lmde6
Everything runs Debian
My desktop PC runs a dual boot of Arch Linux and Windows 11 (for the few things that don't work with Linux cough Destiny 2 cough - damn it Bungie, and VR stuff). My MacBook runs a dual boot of Fedora 40 and whatever is the latest version of macOS that can run on it (its an older Intel model, Apple dropped support for it a couple of years ago - I think its running Big Sur? I hardly ever boot into macOS).
And then my Steam Deck (its effectively just another x86 PC afterall) of course uses SteamOS.
What about you, OP?
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.
Seven systems in my house -
3 Windows 10 - One my gaming/workstation rig, my living room HTPC, and a Dell XPS 13 1 Ubuntu - Rig I cobbled together from older parts for player 2. 2 SteamOS - They're Steam Decks after all... 1 Windows 11 - Work computer. I use the XPS if I can avoid it.
Arch with hyprland, switched from Fedora Sway when I felt like trying something fresh. Installing arch was more difficult than expected since I had a couple weird issues I couldn't really find in the manual, but after a while I got it all figured out.
Windows 11, I think. I never check but it's defo Windows.
I use 9 systems currently:
- 5 Gentoo
- 2 Arch
- 1 FreeBSD (OpnSense)
- 1 w11
And the w11 is a work laptop that is getting Gentoo whenever I get a minute, leaving w11 on as small a partition as I can get away with for a once a month check in to intune.
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.
I used to use endevour os and loved every bit of it. r8 now am on Nixos trying some stuff out and honestly i miss the shere amount of documentation and support that was there for arch but i have heard that nix is very rewarding once i understand the workings soo... Nixos
Pop!_os
Ubuntu , I tried switching to arch recently but I could not figure out how to mount my drive that has all movies on it so I switched back for now. Any tips and mounting a NTFS drive .
i tried arch and drivers where missing uuid and grub would not install
