Desktop: Dual boot, Arch Linux / Windows 10 (cba to do the BIOS thing to update to windows 11) for games, FL studio and photoshop

Laptop: MacOS

Dual boot Ubuntu/Win10 on one, and dual boot Mint/Win7 on another. If I can secure a stable internet connection I will switch the last machine to a server.

I'm a CS major, so I need all the experience I can get. I prefer Linux machines because I think the OS is superior in a number of ways.

Fedora with KDE for my work laptop and windows 10 for my gaming PC. I greatly prefer linux but had several problems getting it to work properly on that PC and then I had to run the games too.

As for Fedora, I chose it because I wanted a system that just worked out of the box. Since I don't do games on that computer for the most part, it's much easier. Ubuntu unfortunately hard broke several times on me for reasons that were probably my fault but I don't entirely comprehend. Some were fixable but it wasn't worth the trouble. Fedora has never had any major issues for me.

I use Arch btw.

It's just clean and simple. I've never had a problem with reinstalling things, so I love the idea of a bare-bones operating system where I can install what I need and nothing else. I swapped to Manjaro for a while because my last attempt at arch became unstable, but I've got a good 8 or so years of Linux under my belt now. I feel much more comfortable maintaining rolling release. Also the AUR is unmatched. I'm spoiled by it.

Arch Linux for day to day/work, and windows 11 for gaming, or work if needed.

Pop! OS. It's been almost 2 years since Microsoft arbitrarily told me that my Ryzen 1 wasn't compatible with Windows 11. It's not been entirely smooth sailing, but if i'm honest, i love it when it's not entirely smooth sailing. My relationship with my OS has fundamentally changed and I love it.

I've been using NixOS since February and have never been this happy with a Linux distro. It's seriously a game changer and it allows me to have a peace of mind about my installation that I could never have with other distros (I was using arch before that).

Fedora 35 or 36. She's a fun one. I've just finished migrating off an old laptop that was running manjaro with i3 (formerly i3gaps) I think my lust for keyboard shortcuts is satiated now lol. I can't wait to find the lemmy equivalent for unixporn.

Fedora Silverblue. It's one of the closest to a ChromeOS like "no maintenance" Linux distros with still a lot of Linux feel. I just don't have the headspace to maintain reliably anymore.

I dual boot Windows 10 and EndeavorOS on my PC for gaming and project work respectively.

I dual boot Windows and Manjaro. Literally the only thing keeping me tied to Microsoft is VR, just haven't been able to get my OG Vive working quite right on Linux yet, and it irritates me XD

I dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 11 on separate drives. I would go fully Arch because I love the idea of a DIY OS, especially for programming & game performance, but games like CoD are keeping me stuck with Windows.

Fedora with KDE. I ditched Windows about 4 years ago and never looked back. I bounced between a few different distros, but I've been using Fedora in recent months (switched once version 36 was released) and I think I'll stick with it for a while. It's been a great experience and gaming has been pretty painless so far, the only exceptions being games with easy anti-cheat as it doesn't always play nice with Linux users.

I use MacOS and Windows 10 on my PC. Its a hackintosh. I prefer MacOS for general computing and photography editing in Lightroom, but I game on Windows.

Heavily-modified, Snap-less Ubuntu 23.04 on my desktop/laptop and Debian on all of my servers. I keep a Windows VM for specialty cases, but hardly ever use it...

FreeBSD because it just works. I like the consistency of it.

Kubuntu. I like KDE and Ubuntu was very easy to get into, so here I am.

Windows 11 for CAD and other stuff that's Windows exclusive. Would love to get steamOS off the steamdeck though, I used it as a temporary desktop and it rocked

I use windows 11 on the main PC. Ease of use for everyone in the household plus easy access to mainstream gaming. I use Linux Mint on my personal laptop. I'm not much of a power user these days so Mint has everything I need for my slightly older laptop.
