Kubuntu, but strongly considering Pop OS.

[–] Percy@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Windows because of work and most of my steam games ran like crap on kubuntu with proton making them unplayable

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 2 points 2 years ago

Ubuntu for personal main laptop/desktop/servers.

For work Mac OS because they made me choose between Windows or Mac.

[–] Whitt@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago

I have a home server and a laptop. Both run different versions of Ubuntu

Grub roulette between Ubuntu studio 23 something, nixos, and ancient Ubuntu studio

Windows 10 Pro on my main desktop but I do have an old laptop now running Zorin OS Lite which I use mostly when I'm on vacation or taking a long train.

[–] Girtablulu@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Solus Plasma, nothing really gives me such a home. I tried others but nope

I'm generally running a Linux distribution on my computer, as for which one - well I have a tendency to distro hop around quite a bit. As of yesterday I'm on Fedora Kinoite (though I still have my Arch partition around in case I feel I need to go exit/go back) and it has been pretty smooth thus far. I have regular Fedora KDE Workstation installed on my old Macbook Pro as well, so it makes sense I suppose!

I also have a Windows partition for when I want to play a game that either doesn't work on Linux at all (cough Destiny 2...) or doesn't work as well on Linux, at some point I'd like to completely erase it though.

I wish GeForce Now worked better on Linux as I'd just use that otherwise. But for some reason, every time I've tried a game streaming service on Linux (GFN, Stadia, Luna, even Shadow PC) it has always felt like it was performing worse than when I ran it in Windows (just to make sure there were no issues with say my network).

Mobile-wise I just use stock ("Google'd" - yes, I know...) Android on my Pixel. On my servers I tend to use RHEL based distros, but with the recent news about RedHat's shenanigans I'm wondering if I should be regretting my choice now, but I guess we'll see.

Linux Mint with Cinnamon and XFCE. I also own a Mac (actually its my company computer), but i keep it for Power Point and Microsoft Office. My company is ok for me to work with my personal Linux computer, as long as i show them proof it's encrypted. Nice guys.

Garuda linux has been my goto on my personal computer and laptop for about 3 years now, basically since it was released on my work machine i use windows unfortunatly.

on my two little media servers, i run arch inside proxmox continers.

I have always been an avid Mac user, so currently Ventura. That said, I did build a frankenbox when I wasn’t sure what would happen with gaming on my Mac (I don’t have major requirements, quite content with my little corner of MMORPG and the occasion Steam games), and that has Windows 11.

I have worked cross-platform for many years, and frankly I liked the version of Windows where the window art was translucent? Was that Windows 7? I liked that. I really did not like when Microsoft made their OS look like their phone (and yes I am cranky Apple made their desktop OS look similar to their phone).

I have not dabbled in Linux, but that is mostly because I am that most dangerous of users: the one who has partial knowledge and too much curiosity. I’m the person who thought you could upgrade Windows by simply replacing the io subsystem on a desktop with the one from more recent version on a laptop (back in that day, you could take the new system folder off a Mac and put it on a Mac with an oiler version and it would upgrade). It took 2 weeks to rebuild that PC, the entire machine needed to be wiped clean, we had to dig up the install floppies to get the CD to work to be able to use the system CDs to install a fresh copy of the OS. I am a menace to technology. ;-)

Windows 11

Testing out Pop OS though and if it is not a pain in the butt, I'll be switching over to it.

Win10, but I swear if it asks me to try out Office 365 one more time, I am putting some Linux distro on there and not going back (except I sometimes need Windows due to work requirements).

Fedora, with proton, I waited for my steam deck, and then once I realized how good it felt, I made the jump for my main computer, I haven't looked back to Windows yet.
