Dual boot Windows 11 and EndeavourOS on KDE

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

Windows 10 but I use WSL for VS code and docker.

I love Linux, 20+ years I’d use, but the desktop experience is inferior to Win/Mac in my opinion. I do hope that changes though.

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

Windows 10 as long as possible. I think my hardware may support Windows 11, but there's no benefit to me upgrading until I need to.

[–] Venomnik0@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I use Gentoo. It's nice and comfy and I can actually control what I want to do on there.

I use TUXEDO OS 2 on my new Tuxedo Infinitybook S15. I can tell it's quite good!

[–] esimms@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

macOS HighSierra

[–] VictorPrincipum@vlemmy.net 2 points 2 years ago

MacOS of course, or Win11, or Garuda. Depends on how I feel or what I need to do. No it was not made by Apple.

[–] alsimoneau@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Win10 for gaming and Manjaro for working.

I want to stop usibg Windows but I haven't made the move yet. I probly will when Win10 gets EOL.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Hackintosh Mojave and Win10(just gaming) for my desktop and Linux Mint on my laptop(MBP 2012). Probably going to switch to Linux instead of Mojave for the desktop soon though. I've stayed far of away of "eco systems" and don't have any workflow that doesn't use open formats, so I'm very platform agonist.

I daily drove Linux for 15 years. OSX for about five, and now windows since WSL.

It's easier to get the Linux stuff I like in Windows than it is to get the window stuff I like in Linux. WSL provides me all the tools I need to manage my Linux servers in a reasonably performant package.

On my laptop I have Windows 11 installed since that’s what it came with. I’m sure I’ll migrate it to Linux eventually but it’s new.

On my desktop I mostly bounce between Ubuntu and Arch though just installed Pop OS today to see what the craze is all about.

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

The last version of Windows I used on a computer I owned / own is 3.1. I’ve been on MacOS ever since and will continue to be for as long as I’m able.

[–] Blamemeta@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Win10 so I can play heavily modded skyrim

[–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

GNU/Linux.

I distrohop a not but right now im using Garuda. I also use different Debian variants in other computers.

[–] GutterPunch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Installed: Windows 10, Windows 7, Lubuntu LTS, ZealOS. VMs for MacOS, Android-x86, and Haiku.

[–] cccc@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Windows 10 on my main computer, Mint on my HTPC which is getting a lot more use.

[–] director@some.institute 2 points 2 years ago

Desktop is Win 10, laptop is mint.

[–] WhatTheFDR@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Mac OS Ventura at work. Win10 at home

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

My main system is running Windows 10

It works great for everything I need and as long as I don't enable the TPM in my motherboard settings I don't have to worry about it upgrading itself to Windows 11. Unlike when my system upgraded itself from 8.1 to 10. That was a hard one due to driver issues with my Bluetooth card at the time.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Windows 10. Have proxmox setup with Ubuntu and a few other operating systems.

[–] ozoned@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Fedora and Debian Linux.

Main PC is a gaming rig with Windows 10, side PC for work is Linux Mint with a Win10 dual boot partition just in case something fucks up in Linux, but I haven't needed it in a while. I am not upgrading to Win11 for as long as I am able.

Arch right now. Probably going to give NixOS a try in the near future though.

[–] heavyboots@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

macOS Ventura on the Studio and the MBP work machines and Windows 11 Pro on the living room gaming tower.

[–] xtremeownage@lemmyonline.com 2 points 2 years ago

Primary PC, runs windows 10. I have lots of various software development related programs which just works here. They don't work as well on linux.

All of my servers (Except blue iris), are running linux. Mostly ubuntu.

The other various gaming PCs around the house are running Ubuntu too. (Kubuntu to be more specific)

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

Kubuntu 22.04 on my laptop & Ubuntu Mate 22.04 on my desktop/server.

[–] rozno@roznotech.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Windows 10 on my main (gaming) PC (honestly I would probably upgrade to 11 by now if I didn't need to do a BIOS update), and Ubuntu on my computer in the living room. I would try a different distro, but honestly whenever I need a guide to do something on Linux they're always written with Ubuntu and it's default commands and packages in mind so it's just easier to work with

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Windows 11 unfortunately. I haven't found a suitable way to jump to Linux.

Arch & Windows 10 on my desktop, OpenSuse Tumbleweed on the laptop.

[–] amiusingarch@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Currently I'm dual booting, mainly Arch for the most part and Windows 10 for my games.

I can't use proton for most of my games since all of them are latency sensitive (rhythm games).

[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Arch Linux

Everything else just sucks (haven't tried LFS, NixOS and Gentoo. But for sure I kinda hate Debian and Fedora based distros as they kinda suck and I mostly hate Microsoft based Operating Systems as they suck the most)

change my mind.

[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

There are distros that I like but dont use because of the lack of convinience like Void Linux which is a great distro but doesn't have AUR.

I used to have strong opinions about operating systems. Installed various Linux builds and boot loaders to run different OS's. Etc

Now I use windows. I can't even tell you what version without looking. 10 I guess? Windows finally "just works" and I haven't had a BSOD in forever so I really don't care.

[–] MJBrune@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Windows 10 at home desktop, windows 11 laptop and work desktop. Frankly I'd switch to Linux but lots of stuff didn't work on it last I checked a year ago. Wayland seems to be messing with Nvidia and kde. Last Fedora release bricked on boot of the live usb. One day Linux will be ready. I like it on my steam deck and phone. It's great for embedded systems with limited hardware differences and a focused company supporting it's development. FOSS software suites really needs an organization behind it to be successful.
