[–] BagOfHeavyStones@piefed.social 7 points 13 hours ago

Mostly linux at home, windows at work due to needing windows apps that can't run on linux.

Windows and macOS on the home machines, but Linux servers at home. I can’t be bothered to spend time on computers in my spare time. It took me 3 months to migrate 2 vms and a NAS to new hardware. I know it’s better but the tweaking of Linux was a pain 10 years ago and I find less joy in it than ever.

Comparing the Linux of 10 years ago with today is like comparing an NES with a Nintendo Switch.

It's improved drastically, and it's even used now on a well known consumer product - the Steam Deck.

It's also gotten to the point is easier to use than Windows. I installed Bazzite for 7 people last year - none tech savvy - and all of them have liked it more than Windows, despite having only used Windows before. 2 of them also had hardware work with it that suddenly stopped working after a Windows update (wired headphones).

Both. I have to use Windows at work. I mainly use Linux at home.
