I spend most browsing time on my ipad, but my main computer is a mac, where i do serious stuff like emacs and factorio. Work stuff not mentioned.

Linux. Got fed up with the Windows 11 release.

[–] odium@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Arch and Windows dual boot. Windows is only for certain games which don't work on linux because of anti-cheat. Arch is for everything else.

Windows. Like everybody else in AEC, there is no alternative yet

Windows 10 primarily, dual boot with Linux Mint.

I'd like to say I want to switch to maining Linux when Win10 goes EOL, but I make music with LMMS as a hobby and tried to switch that to Linux to get hooking multiple tracks to a single plugin to work...but the VST I wanted to use with that didn't work at all on Linux, so I have recent memory of compatibility issues with Linux. I'd probably already be maining Linux if I didn't game.

I stuck with Windows 7 far longer than I should've. Windows 10 just rubbed me wrong with all the unrequested changes every feature update and privacy issues.

Then I found Windows 10 LTSC and I'm not going back.

Same! Finally wiped it and installed arch only like 6 months ago.. yikes.

I use a heavily stripped down version of Windows 10. I plan to move to FedoraKDE when 10 is sunsetted though

Linux Mint 21.2. it's a solid OS and supports all the games I like to play. I started and ran a business on it as well, so I have no neee for windows anymore besides proprietary software and hardware. I just dual boot in those cases.

Windows 11 and iOS. I could probably figure out what I’m doing on Linux but don’t have the energy to bother. I have used a bunch of the debloter scripts to get rid of Microsoft’s garbage.

my work computer is a mac, my desktop runs arch linux (btw). It dual boots windows 10 but I haven’t used it in months, even then it was just because I had a thought I hadn’t updated it in a while. I can boot the windows partition in virtualbox in linux if needed.

MacOS. Used Archlinux for many years, but nowadays my pc is being used solely for sim racing.

[–] richyawyingtmv@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Windows 11...I previously had windows 10, but the auto-HDR mode on W11 sold me on upgrading, especially when it works with Yuzu (switch emulator). I honestly have no complaints, after a bit of tweaking it just feels like Windows 10+.

But for work and non-gaming I dual boot to Linux Mint, although I'm eyeing up Void OS now...

On the steam deck I just use steamos of course

Vanilla OS but trying to learn about the differences between blendOS and Vanilla OS

[–] Haggunenons@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

KDE Ubuntu, I like it so much more than gnome. I've never tried another Linux and I have so much customization set up with with KDE that switching to somewhere else is really not appealing.

[–] finestnothing@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Windows, but I'm in the process of setting up arch Linux on a separate drive which will become my daily driver once I get it configured how I want it. I love bspwm and have had it on my laptop for a few years, but my main computer has a 3840x1080 monitor which is a bit more difficult to setup smoothly

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

Fedora Silverblue and Windows 11 (for games I can’t get to run on Fedora).

[–] marciealana@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Home: Windows 11, work OSX. I moved my personal computer to Linux a couple years ago (I've been using Linux since the mid 90s), but game support was an issue. I'll try again soon. Windows is a necessary evil that I'd like not to be necessary.

[–] ghariksforge@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I use Arch with XFCE. I also have a dual boot Manjaro as backup. Also XFCE.

[–] mnrockclimber@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

macOS for both work and personal (Personal M1 Mini, Work issued MBP).

[–] nick@nickbuilds.net 1 points 2 years ago

Windows 11 for my Surface & Gaming PC. Probably gonna try out SurfaceLinux soon though since the Surface Pro 7 is starting to show its age.

But I have a Dell XPS 13 that's running Ubuntu Jammy now though. I alternate thru all 3 depending on the day.
