We’re an all-linux household.
- Endeavoros on my gaming desktop
- Garuda on my Framework laptop
- Kubuntu on my partner’s Framework laptop
- Endeavoros on my server. Plus a handful of Pis and appliances.
NixOS, because all of the config in my system is declared in a few files on GitHub and it has a huge package repo.
Also it has all of the other advantages of a Linux distro, like privacy, speed and customisability.
I use Debian because it’s what I’ve been using for the last twenty-two years.
Linyx because it doent get in my way unlike windows, and because I like FOSS. Arch linux in particular, but anything is better than windows or macos. (well, not chromeOS)
Linux because it runs fast and does what I need it to.
As a non technical user that has switched to Ubuntu from Windows, Linux is light years ahead. Any os without a decent package manager like apt or flatpak is unusable for me and that’s without mentioning the ads…
macOS - because it just works and I like a clean, consistent ui.
I tried Windows, again and again - and it just feels like Microsoft is incapable of designing a ui that is consistent. Drives me crazy.
Linux, well. I like to run it on servers. I love it. But on the desktop it remains a pain. Yes, a lot has improved over the years. But there is still a long way to go before I would consider it user friendly. And the worst part: I do not see how a consistent ui would even be possible.
Strictly Arch Linux since 2008
MacOS, because Mac hardware. Dual booted with Mint OS.
My desktop runs Windows 11 since I game and use an Nvidia GPU. I also end up having to re-install my OS a bunch if I use Linux on a daily-driver.
Two of my laptops run Ubuntu for greater compatibility with server software I have installed on them (I use them solely for server shit), and one runs Mint. The Mint one is mainly just used to Parsec into my desktop from bed.
Laptop: popos Reason: 2 hours battery on windows, 8-12 hours on popos due to sleep issues on windows and Nvidia GPU not turning off on windows.
Desktop: Windows, too many apps without relevant replacements.
Servers: Linux or bsd(depending on vm/reason)
The meme used to be that Linux’s sleep is broken but now MS Windows has broken sleep. This also happens on my older thinkpad, which is also super sloe with Windows, but fast with Linux (just works™).
Currently trying out NixOS, just switched from Gentoo. Interesting experience so far, will see if the switch will be permanent.
Immutable system, completely separated and well-defined development environments per project, and overall nix is pretty nice.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, because it’s stable enough while also beign a rolling release distribution. I wanted to remove the hassle of updating debian/ubuntu once in a while to jump through LTS versions.
I used to use Linux, but Windows just has better support for most apps and drivers so currently Windows 10. I doubt I’ll ever switch to Windows 11. It seems pretty iffy with the lack of customization and ads appearing in the folder menus.
Fedora on my PC and Laptop. It has a big community of users and pretty much everything works. Used to use Arch btw (Arco Linux).
Windows 10, works for everything I need and never had any reason to change to another OS.
