Currently on ArcoLinux on both my desktop and laptop (although they both have windows installs that I basically never use except for the rare case I need windows software or games)
Win 10 but I'm craving to install mint/endeavour.
Linux mint is great for a stable OS afaik, endeavour is excelent for cutting edge packages and AUR.
Depends on preference and needs so while I want to recommend Arch based, I shouldn't as I don't know if its the wrong decision.
I use arch btw. I am waiting for vanilla os v2 for my laptop though, I think it would be great for a device which I want to "just work". Rn it has Ubuntu with some dell repos which have not been updated since Ubuntu 20.
MacOS with a tiling window manager for work, Win10 on PC for gaming and Linux on all servers. I would run Linux for work if Office, Adobe and esp. Outlook ran on it, MacOS with Yabai + SKHD is the closest I can get to a Linux experience while still being functional for work.
Linux Mint. When it first came out, it was the first distro where sound and wifi worked out of the box on fresh installations by shipping with restricted drivers. It made installations so easy that I just stopped trying other distros.
linux
Linux openSUSE
Win 11 because of games, music production and other windows-only tools (TIHI). Some flavor of Debian everywhere else.
Nixos on my PC, NixOS on my laptop, NixOS on my raspberry pi
Also steamOS on my steam deck , don't see any reason to change that
I also have windows dual booted on my laptop as a secondary os but I boot it around once every couple weeks at most
Linux (Arch with KDE Plasma)
Currently win10 but am definitely getting outta that ecosystem in favor of a Linux distro like Linux Mint next upgrade. If not mint, then I don't know.
Manjaro Linux, also for my gaming. Booted up my secondary Windows drive yesterday on my main computer, just to update it.
Windows 10. Would migrate to Linux, but between Adobe software and abusing the personal unlimited backup (specifically not enabled for Linux due to power users) from Backblaze it just makes more sense to stay right now.
I don't think there's a single "main" computer anymore. My home computer is Linux Mint Cinnamon. My mobile computer (which I use nearly as much as my desktop OS) is Android.
My next smartphone is going to allow installing a privacy-respecting custom ROM (because Linux on mobile really isn't there yet). Once I do that, I'll focus on f-droid apps only. Something to look forward to.
Windows 10 enterprise msdn. Unfortunately it looks like eol is pretty soon. I'm not liking windows 11 at all. Surprisingly this time pro and enterprise have the same eol dates, or have I read it wrong. Microsoft usually supports enterprise for a bit longer.
LTSC is to 2027 but I think there maybe some compatibility issues as it's not really designed for being a desktop OS. Might give that a whirl a bit later.
I'm not sure which one is my main. I have an old MacBook Air, haven't updated the OS in a long time because I got tired of MacOS becoming merged with iOS. I have a desktop that dual boots between Windows 10 and Ubuntu. I use them all about the same amount. Honestly, I use my phone more than either.
Ubuntu. For at least a decade now, I'm sure.
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
I use Gentoo because it's quite customizable. What's more, building a whole system from source is more secureπ.
Fedora Workstation. Everything just works out of the box, even AAC codec with Bose headphone.
My partner and I have been on Manjaro for 3 years and never looked back
EndeavourOS with GNOME!
Windows 10 (Home) until end of support, but I'll have to look into getting into Linux, as, among other things, Windows 11 having an in-built AI cemented to me that I will never ever be using it.
Debian Bookworm KDE - though I have to admit that it's not my final destination when it comes to distro hopping, I guess. Currently thinking about giving Zorin OS a go.
Windows 11, but I'm currently playing around with different Linux distros trying to see if I can finally get rid of windows for good.
Linux Mint with KDE Plasma.
Fedora 38 and Windows 10 on dual boot, though I mostly just use Fedora.
Rocking Endeavour OS right now. It's been working well for me so far.
Fedora Linux with either Gnome or Sway depending on the device.
Windows 11 running on my laptop
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.
I use Gentoo. It's nice and comfy and I can actually control what I want to do on there.
Insert compile firefox meme
Debian Unstable on my laptops and desktop, Debian Stable on my server, Windows 10 is dual booted on my desktop for gaming.
As a webdev, I'm loving Win11 with WSL2. The new Terminal is great and Powertools make organizing windows on my ultrawide easy. I've had to use exclusively Macs for a while for my last company and was not really a fan.
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 doesnβt have Linux support
xubuntu cuz im too lazy rn to configure anything else than vim
Arch Linux on my desktop, laptop and server. It just works and I don't have to deal with any issues, I've been using it since 2015 and I found it to be the easiest and most rock solid OS I've ever used. I use Syncthing to sync files across all the computers. Then there's my work laptop, my employer provides Windows 10/11 and Ubuntu, so I chose Ubuntu.
Linux, I like my main boxen to be stable. Unlike my Windows game box.
