MODERATORS
- Pixel 9 Pro phone
- Framework 13 laptop
- SFF PC for living room gaming
- Desktop PC in the office (to be sold)
- Kindle paperwhite
- Steam deck (to be sold)
- Surface Pro 9
- HP Microserver
The laptop and SFF PC have EndeavourOS on them, desktop and SP9 Pop!_OS, Kindle is jailbroken. I have wanted to get GrapheneOS on the phone but hate to admit that I love the convenience of contactless payments too much
Desktop PC with three usb dvb tuners hooked to the TV - takes the ads out of free to air and backs up laptop.
Toshiba i7 laptop about ten years old. Win10
Two Asus laptops with Debian which mainly just act as Rustdesk terminals to the Toshiba laptop.
Super slow old budget Toshiba laptop in the car - again just Rustdesk into the I7. OK battery.
Midrange Motorola g84 for phone and hotspot.
- Android phone
- 2 ipads (5th & 9th Gen)
- 2 laptops (identical HP Elitebooks, 1 Win10 & 1 Linux Mint)
That's my daily setup. I have a 3DS as well.
- 1 Pixel 6a
- 1 personal desktop, 1 work desktop
- 1 personal laptop that I never use (9 years old)
- 1 HTPC in my living room
- 1 RPi5 (running home assistant)
- 2 Boox ereaders of different sizes
- 1 Lenovo Tablet that I never use (6 years old)
- 1 Steamdeck
- 1 Google TV stick (rarely used)
All except the work desktop run Linux or Android.
I use OpenSuSe on my desktop and laptop, and Nobara on my HTPC. Rasberry Pi OS on the RPi5.
My desktop is my own build, with a ryzen 7 and 3070 gpu, 64gb ram.
Aside from my phone, I use my HTPC the most, Desktop second (including often to stream games to the HTPC), and the larger boox ereader. Don't use the laptop unless traveling and even then don't always bother to take it; to the point I've decided not to replace it despite its age until it dies. I do take the tablet when travelling but most of the time its unused.
The HTPC I use to game, stream online and home libraries, and browse the internet. Its largely replaced my steamdeck, allowed me to game on my desktop PC from my sofa and largely made my Google TV device redundant.
I have a base model Android flagship phone, and secondary budget phone as a backup, I used to play low-end games on a laptop but depression got in the way and haven't really used computers recently, its probably just sitting in some drawer somewhere collecting dust, I don't really use it anymore, not sure if its still functioning, but probably won't be replacing it. Smartphones kinda replaced everything. You can't lie in bed and comfortalt hold a device bigger than a smartphone for watching youtube videos and stuff anyways.
Nice try tech corporation. :D /jk
I cant count the devices i have. Around 5 phones with different operating systems, one linux. Around six laptops with mostly linux os, one windows i think but havent turned it on in 5 yrs. Many desktops i switched to linux. I mean to donate most of it to local folks soon. Oh and many microcontrollers. Multiple servers which run a variety of private and public services as well as business stuff.

My desktop is a DL385 gen 10.

How'd you group them by:
- use it every day
- runs in background everyday
- there when I need it, maybe a few times a month
- on a shelf gathering dust
The server and Pis see daily use.
Steam deck is as often as i can find time. Some times it is every day other times i could go a week without getting the time.
Phone is every day
Out of the 4 Laptops I have to give back one of the work ones and the 2 personal ones I use one currently (the other one a gaming one, i need to backup and then install linux on it. It was a friends that passed
The hacked consoles are all in storage for when we buy our own place.
