Ubuntu / Kubuntu.

I tried Arch (Manjaro) for a while but was totally lost every time it broke down, which it did a lot. Every update felt like a gamble. The AUR is great but I need more stability.

Fedora Linux! <3

I have tried various distros over the last 15 years, starting with Ubuntu, debian, Crunchbang(alltime-favorite), Arch, Fedora and so on. Currently with Linux Mint. Just works and I like the Debian environment.

NixOs so that I can keep my dev environments synchronized, very useful as I work hybrid hours.

Atomic updates and rollbacks, and being able to mix release and unstable packages is also nice.

Before that I used to have a dotfiles/config repo using dotdrop for arch/artix/void, but then realized I was just recreating a crappy version of NixOs/HomeManager.

Pirated version of Windows 10 LTSC (v2021) because FUCK Microsoft.

Ubuntu since 2006

• It just works for the simple things
• It is as powerful as needed for the complicated things
• It runs nearly everywhere
• It's universally supported by anything that supports Linux
• It's supported at my workplace
• It's got the largest community and body of documentation available which makes solving problems easy
• It's got pretty good UX (I miss Unity)
• I like Snap
• It's got very, very long term security support for free which makes supporting it easy
• I know it very well and can bend it to my will in any way I need
• I'm infinitely grateful to the Debian community for making it possible
• If the BDFL loses his B, there's an obvious backup plan - migrating to Debian

DOS and Windows up to 2006

Win 11 on my desktop and laptop. Unraid on my home server.

I run Arch Linux with KDE for my workstation, and Fedora for my ThinkPad. My server runs Rocky Linux and I plan to get another (possibly in the cloud).

Windows 10... I have Mint dual booted, but couldn't bother to make video games work on it and have used it maybe a few dozen hours at most. School had some fairly Windows-centric materials as well that made it hard to transfer over.

Windows, because of gaming, otherwise I'd use a Debian based distro or Fedora.

I use Debian on my servers.

I use Solus OS . Pretty much the perfect distro for me , I have tried so many distros (ubuntu , mint , endeavour , fedora etc) but no one felt as smooth and snappier to me as solus . Eopkg(it's package manager) might be limited but has all the softwares I need m so no complaining from my side . Also I like how fast it is . Solus is a rolling release distro and is still very stable , never encountered any problems with it . I was afraid that it may die and started looking for alternatives ,sadly never found one as good as solus to me . But thankfully Solus's founder and buddies of budgie's lead are back and making sure the project isn't dead.

I really wish I could say SqueakNOS an experimental OS written in Smalltalk by some crazy beautiful people, but alas that dream died over a decade ago. Imagine the excitement of being able to rewrite any part of your OS on the fly and the terror when it all went wrong.

Ubuntu 20.04. My laptop is from 2013 and windows broke itself with an update in 2018 that rendered the computer useless and at 100% disk usage all the time. I already had some experience with dual booting and running Linux on old PC's so I just wiped it and never went back. I really don't miss it aside from excel.

Home computer - Windows 10, because I didn't like Windows 11 School laptop - Windows 11, because I sacrificed it to see if I would like W11 on my home computer Work computer - Mac OS, because I don't get a say in it

Archlinux with KDE. I have windows 10 on a second hard drive but I boot into it idk once a month.

Currently on my main PC I'm running Windows 10, as a few games I play fairly often aren't supported on Linux. Got a Steam Deck running SteamOS, and an old Macbook running Pop!_OS.

Plan on eventually switching my main rig over to the Linux side, most likely Nobara with KDE.

I use Linux Mint and Windows 10. I'm kinda stuck on windows because I'm a gamer. I can run a fair share of my games on Linux but it requires a lot of compromises and there are some games that straight up don't work because of anti cheat.

I wanna go full Linux though.

I am on Mac OS El Monterey for audio production work, and Windows 10 for general productivity/gaming.

I love Fedora, but found battery life less than optimal, and many of the programs I need for employment simply do not have Linux versions.

Windows 10 on my desktop. I game and work on it, and there are applications for my job that I can't get to work on Linux (even on Wine).

My laptop is on Linux (Endeavour OS). It's my portable device and I don't use it for work so Linux, imho, is my best choice. It's pretty old as well.

Arch because:

• it is the only distro I could install my wifi drivers on when I started with GNU/Linux
• too poor to afford hardware for Gentoo
• bloat = bad
• spyware = bad
• Appl€ & Micro$oft = bad

Linux

I swear that the last time I've ever shouted at a machine was when I was installing the latest release of Windows Server and I was unable to find the most basics elements on their graphic interface. It's like I was a baby in a toypark. And they have the guts to call it a server. I've seen enough dark patterns in their install steps to make any sane person go mad. Windows is leaking bad faith though all his interface. You know what I want to do and you purposefully stop me from doing it. You are not an ally and not even a tool.

I tried Macosx years ago too, but from now on I will only use any reasonable brand of linux.

This is my exact setup as well. I ran Windows on my laptop for years but Windows modern sleep absolutely ruined it for me. Placing my fully charged laptop in my bag on sleep and pulling it out completely dead 8 hours later is asinine. macOS knows how to sleep properly.

Hate to say it, but Windows 10. My laptop doesn't support Windows 11 and Microsoft Office isn't available on linux (though I think I can do it with a windows vitual machine.) Also because of other apps like Proteus and Camtasia, or I would be on linux now. (Is it just me or are linux mint packages usually outdated?)
