What operating system do you use on your main computer?

macOS

Arch Linux with Hyprland and no GUI apps except Firefox and Steam, I don't even have a file manager

I use Arch btw

Arch btw

Peppermint OS , perfect for just working , and customise. But with the rise of asahi Linux my next computer will be a Mac. I also have a Windows AME install I'm not using just in case I need it. For phones , graphene OS . The best there is.

Arch linux

Windows 11. Don't @ me, I don't have the mental or physical energy to deal with Linux. I've never had a Linux install that's had close to everything working, there's always a device (network, sound, graphics, usb toaster) that doesn't work and attempts to follow people's instructions to fix it either make it worse or just do nothing.

Maybe I'm just useless or unlucky, but I'm due to die in a few decades and I don't have time to deal with that nonsense when Windows does everything I want it to.

Arch Linux (BTW)

Puts chain mail on

Sigh..

Windows. Because gaming.

TempleOS

Arch Linux on all computers for the last 10 years or so :)

Windows 10. I'm comfortable with it. I'm not sure what I'll do when the times comes to move to 11 because I don't like what I see going on over there. My main excuse was always comfort and gaming but the Steam Deck is showing me that gaming isn't as much of a barrier as it used to be.

Linux Mint.

I use Arch btw

Fedora. I have yet to stumble upon stuff that doesn't run. I have no problems working nor gaming so no need (or wish) for Windows.

macOS Catalina

Fedora Silverblue

macOS on a Hackintosh. It’s stable AF, and I love it. Use it for work and music production. Then I dual boot Windows 10 for games.

Gentoo with a custom tiling window manager written in x86 assembly in my free time.

Just kidding, I use Windows.

Debian 12

My main system is a Dell Wyse 5070 Extended running Pop-OS, but its main purpose is to be small on my desktop while being just enough computer to run ThinLinc (which is like RDP for Linux). ThinLinc connects to a much more powerful VM in my Proxmox cluster that runs Debian 11, which is my "real" desktop where I spend all of my time.

However, I'm currently working on setting up a new server with a better CPU, more RAM and a Tesla P4, after which my "real" desktop will be a Nobara 38 VM (based on Fedora) with the Tesla card passed through.

Unfortunately Windows. I want to switch to Linux, I really want it, but it's my first PC game since like 20 years and even if the latest progress are great It's not there yet for me.

i use arch btw

I use Arch Linux.

Windows10, cause I'm a basic removed. I've tried to run Linux a couple times years ago, but games not running properly and me not getting over the learning curve always got in the way.

Gentoo

I use Arch Linux. I love it. 😸

Linux Mint

Linux both at home and work.

Switched my desktop at home to Linux in 2017 and gaming works well, rarely any problems.

Fedora. Soon to be debian

Dual boot windows for games

Personal: Linux via EndeavourOS 95% of the time. I have Windows installed on a separate drive so that I can play some games that don't do well on Linux.

Professional: MacOS because that's what the company prefers and has built specific tools for.

Check the instance this account is on

I use ArseLinux btw.

Arch Linux (no meme)

macOS.

Ubuntu

Linux mint

Pop OS for about 5 years. Very, very satisfied with the experience.

Activate Windows

Go to setting to activate Windows

Windows 10 IoT LTSC, without Windows Store and other WPA bloat.

Strange that nobody else commented this

Arch.

Pop!_OS.

I have tried many Linux distros since I finally abandoned Windows for good, but in spite of the fact that I prefer Fedora over the other kernels, Pop!_OS as a distro, along with Pop Shell, is just everything I've ever wanted in an OS and all else just feels inferior.

I'm a dev, though, so it would make sense that an OS made by devs for devs would be my cuppa.

Most users won't need 90% of what I, specifically, love about the OS, but it's also the first distro I've found where everything I want to use just works out of the box without spending hours troubleshooting, and that's not nothing.

MacOS

Ubuntu

Windows 10. My previous effort to try Linux didn't pan out and now I just want the stability and predictability of Windows. I might try it again down the road.

Used to have a Macbook but nowaday I don't like mac for anything I do.

Windows.

Even when I was working ON UNIX (like, with people making the OS), we were all windows+vanDyke+Mozilla, because windows was the most reliable platform for that.

Haven't changed, even if I'm waiting for ReactOS eagerly. It's win10+putty+SeaMonkey until then.

Trisquel GNU/Linux on a Librebooted ThinkPad.

• Gaming PC - Dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 11. Arch for everything (literally) and Windows 11 for VR only. I even share the same Steam library between 2 OSes on separate SSD, formatted as btrfs.
• Work laptop - Arch linux (because I can, we have strict managed-Windows system policy lol).
• Personal laptop - Arch Linux.

All of them using KDE.

I use Arch on my laptop, gaming PC, and my arcade machine. I hate windows so much and haven't used it at home in years.

PopOS

macOS on the laptop (Apple Silicon is amazing!) and Fedora on the desktop. Just moved Windows 11 to a separate disk to rot. Finally all-UNIX!
