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.
OpenSUSE for day to day
Windows for specific work related stuff
Linux or ChromeOS most often. I keep one older windows 10 laptop around for specific software that won't run on anything else. I don't have to use it very often these days but when I do need it it's always for something important that can't run on any other OS.
I moved my parents to ChromeOS a couple of years ago, I use Linux on my work laptop and on my personal laptop as well.
Pop_OS for the main PC, Ubuntu for the laptop and Debian for all the servers (lots of pis). There are 2 PCs left that run windows 10, one is the media rig and the other was an AMD APU that lived in a briefcase as part of a "totally not laptop" thing I built. Its a slow process to fully migrate away from windows, but so far im managing.
"Totally not a laptop" haha, nice. You should make a post about it somewhere - with pics.
yeah same
I dual boot arch and win11 (for stuff that isn't compatible yet).
Kubuntu on the desktops, Linux Mint on the laptops.
ElementaryOS
I think the path i took was something like win98, ME, 2000/NT, fedora core, Ubuntu, Arch, Manjaro, OSX/MacOS but also still using Windows on a corpo job laptop & Linux on work servers.
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
Ngl i kinda dont like about nobara is secure boot comptablity Yeah ik most distros dont support it
OpenSUSE
Windows 10 on the HTPC, dual boot to 7 when I need to rip VHS etc.
Windows 10 on main computer as I need google drive sync, visual basic for excel, stream what you hear and Playit Live for broadcasting.
Arch on a Chromebook, macOS on a MacBook Air, and FreeBSD on the desktop.
Windows 11, when I have time to install new SSD I plan to dual boot with Linux Mint
Win10 on my gaming rig for compatibility and because I'm comfortable with the usage of Windows. Arch Linux with docker containers on the ol' server
TempleOS
LOL
Debian. I distro-hopped a lot but I always return to it. It's like a kit you can turn into anything you want. As stable, bleeding edge, minimal or full-featured as you want, for all kinds of devices, with great third-party support and documentation.
Currently I run a minimal, stable Gnome system with a newer kernel from backports and Flatpaks for my apps.
The only thing it isn't good at is immutability and filesystem snapshots. Both are possible to set up, but it's an involved process, and I'd rather depend on regular backups.
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.
Win 11 because I'm too lazy to migrate to Mint.
My plan is to switch on the next upgrade at the latest, but that might be a few years.
EndeavourOS
Fedora on my desktop and Linux Mint Debian on my laptop.
There's been some ups and downs with Fedora, but nothing too serious at the end of the day and I do quite like it. LMDE has been as stable as a rock and I haven't had any issues with it. I don't really use my laptop that often and its mostly just for web browsing/other simple things.
I forgot LMDE existed
lol it definitely doesn't get the attention the Ubuntu based Mint gets, but I quite like it for what I use it for
alr and true
Fedora 40 KDE
Edit: fixed version, added DE
beta?
Whoops
Arch on my home laptop and travel laptop, Win10 on my pc
Windows 10 or 11 on all (three) day to day systems. Linux Mint on an old laptop which is hardly ever used, and windows xp on an ancient laptop that's only used as music player, and not connected to any network.
Fedora Kinoite
Manjaro GNOME
Arch, btw
