Linux. Got fed up with the Windows 11 release.
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.
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
Fedora 38
Vanilla OS but trying to learn about the differences between blendOS and Vanilla OS
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.
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
Fedora Silverblue and Windows 11 (for games I can’t get to run on Fedora).
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.
I use Arch with XFCE. I also have a dual boot Manjaro as backup. Also XFCE.
macOS for both work and personal (Personal M1 Mini, Work issued MBP).
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.
