Ask Lemmy

Arch, btw

I use Arch btw.

I wrote my own OS leveraging a custom punch-card computer built from redstone in Minecraft.

On Lemmy most will say Linux.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed in my case.

Windows 11

I'm one of the few people who genuinely thinks it's a good OS despite MS' shenanigans

Manjaro Linux. It has treated me well for two years. (Yes, I know about the controversy, I have had no problems with the distro for the last two years).

TempleOS

I use arch btw.

Everything runs Debian

Pop!_os

Fedora

EndeavourOS at home, Ubuntu at work

itt: the question linux users love

I use Windows 3.1

Because of the limitations, I hired someone to create a program that yells letters and characters individually one by one on a text based browser.
It may sound tedious but I refuse to upgrade explanation mark explanation mark explanation mark

Linux mint

Debian. I distro-hopped a lot but I always return to it. It's like a kit you can turn into anything you want. As stable, bleeding edge, minimal or full-featured as you want, for all kinds of devices, with great third-party support and documentation.

Currently I run a minimal, stable Gnome system with a newer kernel from backports and Flatpaks for my apps.
The only thing it isn't good at is immutability and filesystem snapshots. Both are possible to set up, but it's an involved process, and I'd rather depend on regular backups.

Arch btw

Ubuntu at work, Mint on my laptop, Win10 and Debian on my pc. I need to upgrade to Win11 at some point but I guess I'll wait until next year for that.

At the risk of sounding like a meme... Arch on my desktop and laptop, Windows 11 on my home server/PC I play games with anti-Linux anticheat.

Fedora Linux Workstation.

It’s great for almost everything. The only thing I’m not super happy with is the file manager, Nautilus. Its WebDAV support is too buggy.

The holy OS...TempleOS.

Pop! It's treated me well for over a year now.

Work PC: Windows 11 (because that’s what was issued to me).

Home media / automation server: Ubuntu (latest stable distro).

Personal laptop: Mac OS Sonoma (I’ve always used Mac for personal computing. It’s comfortable).

Win 11 because I'm too lazy to migrate to Mint.

My plan is to switch on the next upgrade at the latest, but that might be a few years.

Yet another Arch, btw.

So, a bit of a list...

Personal desktop: endeavour, though I may go back to Debian. I've been using Debian for so long that nothing else feels right, that's a me thing. Endeavour is pretty great.

Work laptop: Windows 11 (stripped down since I have admin rights), unavoidable do to some software I need to run sometimes.

Testing/builds for iOS: M2 Mac Mini

Servers: proxmox, running windows VMs for software I need for work I can rdp into, various Debian LXC's, some Oracle, RHEL, and Debian for work stuff, and occasionally random distros I want to check out.

Edit: Forgot one unique, a 13ish year old Mac mini I picked up for free (bound for recycling) that's just a glorified way to run gcompris for my kids. Straight Debian stable.

Mint for my PC and Windows reluctantly for my work PC.

Fedora Kinoite

Ubuntu on my gaming rig and MacOS on my laptop.

Mint

EndeavourOS

I use openSUSE as a system and then your usual programs like firefox, steam, vlc, strawberry, discord (sadly), freetube, etc.

I use NixOS btw

Desktop: pop!_os

Laptop: linux mint lmde6

Fedora

Fedora 40 KDE

Edit: fixed version, added DE

Linux Mint 21 LMDE on both personal and work laptop.

Fedora Plasma Spin on my gaming rig. Wife’s laptop is MacOS. Used to run EndeavourOS, and I mostly loved it, but I trust the security and stability of Fedora a bit more after some experience with an Arch base.
