I use Debian testing (Linux) for the most part. I maintain a Windows VM for Apple Music.

installed ubuntu as dual boot, but windows gladly broke, currently using ubuntu

Linux desktop and laptop

I use all 3, ordered by how often I use them: Linux > MacOS (hackintosh) > Windows

macOS, mostly.

Been fiddling with Mint lately on my 2011 Macbook Pro, with a view to using it for self hosting a bunch of stuff, but haven’t really had the time / brane capacity to really figure it all out.

Windows can lick my anus. I have Win11 in a VM on my work Mac, and it’s dreadful.

Desktop:

Windows. Got the thing a few years ago and didn't bother installing Linux since I was still new to it and didn't have the drive to learn enough about Linux to go through with it. Haven't done it now because I'm probably upgrading in less than a year and no point since I can just use it for experimenting with server stuff.

Laptop:

My last couple laptops have ended up with Linux on it. On my absolutely shitty pawnshop laptop I broke something in windows, making it so I couldn't do a lot of admin things since there was technically no admit account. Didn't feel like paying for a fresh installation on the shitty thing, so I instead switched it to Ubuntu, which I had in a thumb drive because I was trying to follow a guide telling me how to fix my windows issue, which didn't work at all.

My current store bought laptop runs a Debian fork that I wanted to try, MX. I quickly ran through the win11 setup process before removing that bloatware OS off it. Now I have things set up in a way that works just right for me, despite not being able to figure out why the headphone jack has a problem where it'll only play very staticy, very low volume sound at max volume depending on how loud the original audio is. I've given up on that, though, because I'm not smart enough to figure it out and have already switched to a wireless bluetooth set that works.

MS-DOS. Just joking, Linux, obviously.

Both. I have a desktop running Ubuntu (though I am strongly considering switching to debian) I use that for most computer related tasks and activities. I also have a gaming laptop running windows I dig out for some VR (it has a better gpu) and professional gigs like design or video editing.

I would install linux on the laptop, but I can't live without a few programs I have never successfully gotten running under linux (Resolve and the affinity suite). I could dual boot my desktop into rock linux (which is the only "official" resolve distro) and try to get affinity running under wine. I have been out of work for a few years though, so removing windows from the laptop isn't a high priority.

Linux for 10 years now.

Ditched windows several months ago now :3

Linux. Seems like Windows comes with a lot of baggage these days.

Linux. Couldn't be arsed dealing with Windows.

BTW I use arch

Linux Mint, Debian edition for my PCs, Debian for my servers.

Edit: Win11 at work.

Dual booting WinOs 11 and OpenSuse Leap 15

I only use OpenSuse rarely tho.

Need Win11 to run stuff like Ansys for college.

Windows. Can't be arsed to deal with Linux.

Right now trying out Arch to get rid of my windows machine. It still has a lot of quirks but its fine so far. Most alarmingly i still have to find out how to make it use my grapics card properly.

Linux for gaming Linux for servers Linux for desktops/notebooks Linux at work Linux for mobile

Windows. Albeit 11 sucks so much that I fully intend to give Linux a shot at my next hardware upgrade.

Running windows mostly because I really don't want to fight or research, etc... after doing just that 40hr+/WK. You folks have me convinced it won't be the hell past experience made it to be.

Laptop runs debian but I don't use it much.

Linux, but sometimes I have to use Windows.

GNU/Linux only, with KDE Plasma for desktop as possible. Using it on work laptop (Kubuntu), home laptop (openSUSE Tumbleweed), PC (openSUSE Tumbleweed, also used for gaming), Steam Deck (Arch-based SteamOS). I don't use spyware/adware so Windows is out of question for me. Also it is not free as in freedom and opensource.

I use both

Windows at work and Arch at home.

On laptop Arch Linux with KDE because all is automatic, on gaming PC Arch Linux with i3wm because games and all runs so fast and so well.
