Windows 10 unfortunately. Will go back to Linux some day but I can't be bothered at the moment.

[–] 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).

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.

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)

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

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago

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

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

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.

[–] 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.

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

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

[–] Spud29@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Main desktop is Windows 10, Asus ROG Ally is Windows 11, and my phone is a Google Pixel 7 Pro, so Android. But I've definitely gone through tinkering around with different Linux distro phases over the last 20+ years!

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

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

[–] 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.

Desktop is Win 10, laptop is mint.

[–] tok3n@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Kubuntu 22.04, while my home server is Debian 12.

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

I use Unraid as my host OS with a Windows 11 gaming vm. If you say at my computer you would never know it's not native. I can shutdown/reboot windows and it doesn't affect any of my home server applications, including a mastodon instance.

GNU/Linux.

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

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

Kubuntu, but strongly considering Pop OS.

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

Win10 so I can play heavily modded skyrim

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Btw I use arch. Actually Void Linux with bspwm, but I wanted too say it one time. And windows on the gaming machine.

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

Windows on PC for gaming, Linux on work laptop for development

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Fedora Workstation. Used to dual boot with Win11 to solely play Genshin Impact, but it randomly became compatible on Linux so I have no reason to go back. Looking at either Fedora Silverblue, or might mess around with NixOS tomorrow.

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

Windows 11 because the games I play don't support Linux.

[–] 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.

[–] 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

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

Ubuntu for quite a few years but I'm going back to Debian next.

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

Windows and WSL with Ubuntu.

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

Fedora and Debian Linux.

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

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