Ubuntu. I have nothing to prove.
Still quietly asking myself why tf that is important. I need an OS to do a task, and I need it to be as easily configurable and as unobtrusive as possible. If I was into nursing an OS I'd have stayed with Windows.
Currently, PopOS although I'm not really that enthusiastic about it.
Yeah, there's stuff to like, but.. but..
I just disable most of the Pop stuff and use vanilla gnome.

I'm an unwashed Mint peasant. Tell me how inadequate I am.
There is nothing wrong with Mint EZ mode. I got a computer illiterate buddy with a 8 year old shittop running it like its new.

For as much as Linux nerds (myself absolutely included) complain about distros like Ubuntu and Manjaro, I'd still take either one over Windows or MacOS any day.
Ubuntu has Snap and ads and stuff, but I thought Manjaro was considered good. What's wrong with it? It's supposed to be Arch based.

Mac OSX isn't bad... so long as you sell it your soul, and don't want freedom in return, it's great ๐.
I kid... mostly - it's iOS that is horrifying, but Mac OSX is still Unix (tho not GNU), so not anywhere within leagues of Microdick.
And - possibly dumb question - couldn't you always just run a Linux VM at near-native speed, and get the benefits of both?
A VM doesnโt change the underlying OS collecting data from you
Privacy and data collection-wise MacOS is fine. It's their main selling point. Doesn't even force updates on you. I know it's a low bar, but damn Windows bar is at the floor at this point.
MacOS collects a large amount of data compared to Linux (although not even close to windows). Take a look at their tosdr page and this

"always" in this case is when you have two or more gpus in your system, which limits the ability to "just" run a vm considerably.
Ah, for gaming, yes Macs are not fantastic gaming machines that's for sure.
Then again, Linux has long been known to have issues with gaming as well, especially with an Nvidia card...
Unless you use Steam, and then both work, kinda?
Still it seems like it's Linux and Mac OSX on one side, and Microsoft left behind thousands of years in the past, except maybe for gaming where literally an old Windows running on a VM may run the widest selection of games?
But I still don't see the logic of grouping Macs together with Windows, even for gaming.
For VMs, I expected more someone to bring up the switch to the M1 chipset, a huge setback for VMs definitely even if temporary, though I'm old enough to remember that Linux and Macs both running Intel were often easier to get things running on than Linux on Intel vs. Linux on AMD. But things definitely change over time, as to what is easiest at any given moment.
Microsoft sucks tho - now THAT'S universal. Can't we all just get together, united in our hate for it?! (/s, or, well, actually... not!)
Edit: hey, anyone want to start like an anti-Windows or I-fucking-hate-fucking-Windows community? I'll join it today if you do!? :-)
Iโd say iOS is still unix too, just rootless.
You can use UTM on an M1 or up Macbook and iOS/iPadOS:

It is not VirtualBox yet, but it is moving fast. And thank $deity itโs not Oracleโฆ like VirtualBox

Red Star OS, commrad!
Manjaro and Debian
Alpine, mainly. It's not bad on desktop.
Linux Mint. Cinnamon. With a Windows Vista theme. It confuses and/or irritates everyone who sees it.
I was going to go Mint/Cinnamon, but now I'm going to more.

Ubuntu is awesome Change my mind
Yeah, it's fine. Haven't had too much trouble in a good 10 odd years, once the WiFi drivers settled. Mind you I'm not fucking upgrading to 24.04 for another couple of weeks.
