Lemmy is so Linux-focused and people are surprisingly opinionated about it.

I use everything.

Windows 10 still on my main desktop, although there is a Zorin nvme setup inside, just need to make the final change. Got a 3070 rtx a few years ago I barely get to use.

Windows server 2022 for my DNS/pinhole setup

Windows 10 LTSC for my seeding/downloading

Zorin on my main laptop

Zorin on my kids old renewed 12" MacBook air.

Windows 11 on my kids desktop (he's my guinea pig)

I just used opencore legacy patcher to put sanoma on a 2012 27" iMac that was meant to be recycled. Just ordered kit to take it apart and upgrade the hdd since it's slow as fuck.

I have bazzite on an old Lenovo gaming laptop

Windows 11 for work

Husband uses genuine MacBook pro from 2016 or so

Truenas scale for my home file server and Plex media. Old secondhand AMD ryzen 7 3700x and as much ram I could find from recycling old devices. 4x 20TB drives I bought refurb in 2024 when I rebuilt it all, had had this thing almost 20 years, just upgrading as needed

Truenas scale (second) for my backups with Veeam, secondhand AMD ryzen 5 4500 and 32G recycled RAM.

Proxmox server for testing fun things.

I love dabbling in everything and keeping old hardware alive. Nearly all my hardware is from clients that needed their devices wiped and recycled. I destroy their data and save what I can for fun/education. Things that are just too old or unreliable or unsupported for businesses are great.

I wipe and reload many I can't use, give them away. I think that's all my stuff.
