Ubuntu mainly and Windows mainly for streaming. Discord lags for some reason when I stream on Linux. I also have Fedora and Manjaro on my second/third comps but that wasn’t asked..

[–] Kristho@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Fedora Linux with either Gnome or Sway depending on the device.

[–] Xepher@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Windows 11 running on my laptop

For everything but VR, Arch Linux with KDE Plasma. For VR, Windows 10

I've played VR on Linux before with my Vive but it's definitely not feature complete yet. I just got Knuckles for it though so I've been using the Vive with them a lot recently, so I might start trying it more often. The lack of desktop view in SteamVR on Linux is really annoying though (I got it to work once, but that was the only thing that worked at the time lol)

Ubuntu. For at least a decade now, I'm sure.

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 years ago

Linux (Arch).

I can't stand Windows anymore. So much crap that I don't want and can't get rid of.

Windows 10 + linux mint dual booted on my desktop which is my current main, but I have windows 11 on my laptop that will become my main computer because college. Unfortunately windows 11 is required, i dont even know if stuff like solidworks that i will have to use would run on linux. I am also just more used to windows in general

[–] User0705@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Win 11 it just works for me

[–] darkgeek@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I use Gentoo because it's quite customizable. What's more, building a whole system from source is more secureπŸ˜„.

My partner and I have been on Manjaro for 3 years and never looked back

[–] Tardigrade@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Fedora KDE feels like the perfect blend of customization and stability for me. Oh, and the packages are up to date. I have been on Linux since the early 2000's and finally stopped distrohoping with Fedora about 1 year ago.

[–] TheL3mur@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

EndeavourOS with GNOME!

[–] mobcharacter@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I've been using Windows 11 and Ubuntu with dual boot on my laptop, but a few days ago I tried Linux Mint, and it's awesome. Now I plan to switch from Ubuntu to Linux Mint.

[–] jacfr0st@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Debian Unstable on my laptops and desktop, Debian Stable on my server, Windows 10 is dual booted on my desktop for gaming.

[–] poudlardo@terefere.eu 3 points 2 years ago
[–] dankm@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

FreeBSD 13 and Fedora KDE spin.

[–] NENathaniel@vlemmy.net 3 points 2 years ago

Windows on desktop, Mac on laptop (altho likely switching to Framework with windows soon)

[–] weew@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Windows, because gaming. Sticking with 10 as long as possible (LTSC), maybe 12 will be worth upgrading to

[–] Fudgeknuckles98@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I use Kubuntu for the kde plasma desktop. It made the switch from windows much easier. I dual boot and occasionally use windows if I want to play a game which doesn’t have Linux support

[–] world_hopper@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Windows 10 but I do most of my work in an ubuntu 22.04 VM in virtualbox. But use windows for games and casual use.

Server runs ubuntu 20.04 server which has a bunch of services for my network and my main storage.

Laptop runs ubuntu 22.04 desktop. It's an old laptop so I'm using ubuntu to extend its life.

[–] sudoreboot@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

NixOS. I distrohopped for years but now I've landed and it has been several years since I felt any urge to explore alternatives (maybe with the exception of Guix, which is basically the same idea but everything is in Guile Scheme (Lisp)).

I'm never going back to a mutable OS if I can help it.

KDE Neon. It's Ubuntu LTS with the latest KDE development stuff.

I generally dislike Ubuntu because they have some really odd breakages and bad defaults, but Debian just gets too out of date eventually. I do use Debian for anything that needs Linux and isn't my main desktop, though (and *BSD if it just needs UNIX).

[–] timkenhan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Debian & Gentoo for personal

Ubuntu & Mint for work

[–] tvmole@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

EndeavourOS on desktop and laptop. It's been working great for years

[–] frantisek@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

MacOS Ventura

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Manjaro, because it's up to date while easy to use.

Linux all the way, using OpenSuse

[–] ttk@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

mac for working, windows for gaming, linux for serving

[–] pixelprimer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Fedora, used Arch for many years but decided to try it out and have really enjoyed it. After Red Hats RHEL decisions I might swap to arch or nix os.

[–] Xero@infosec.pub 3 points 2 years ago

Linux, I like my main boxen to be stable. Unlike my Windows game box.

[–] PrepaidCompare@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Debian Sid XFCE.

[–] zerbey@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Windows, Linux on my servers and Raspberry Pi machines. Linux on desktop is oh-so-close, but it's been oh-so-close since the early 2000s!

[–] soggywhale@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Windows 10 dual boot with crystalOS for coding

Q4OS, a very user-friendly Debian-based OS.

[–] Yuutzyu@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Fedora 38 and Windows 10 on dual boot, though I mostly just use Fedora.
