i tried arch and drivers where missing uuid and grub would not install
Main - W10
Travel laptop - W11
Backup - Linux Mint
Phone - Android
Dualboot Linux Mint and Windows 10 on main desktop.
Windows 11 on work laptop
and Xubuntu (i believe) on a cheap laptop i got a few months back for first experimenting w/ linux on
Windows 10, but planning to switch to openSUSE Leap/Tumbelweed (currently running latter on laptop) or alternatively Fedora Atomic after Win10 EOL.
archlinux and planning to install gentoo on my ibm thinkpad soon
On my gaming systems I still use Windows 10.
On my internet browsing and writing systems I'm using ubuntu or linux mint (debian)
All my retro computers use period correct operating systems like (ms-dos 6.22 with) windows 3.11, 95, 98, 2000, XP.
Fedora / Windows 11
I wonder how many updates I'm behind on w11, haven't been there in a spell
Work laptop is macOS and I don't get a choice; end up spending most of my time in emacs to pretend I'm using a different OS.
Primary desktop is Gentoo and I spend a lot of time playing with it. Also got an old thinkpad with Debian, and lastly an old Windows 10 desktop which is going to be put out to pasture soon.
Debian everywhere. On my desktop and my servers.
PC: Win11
Server: Debian 11 (i think)
Nas: TrueNas
Desktop and laptop run Linux Mint, shop tablet turns Fedora Workstation, TV box runs OSMC.
is OSMC like Kodi?
it's a debian distro for raspberry pi that includes Kodi.
~~Fedora KDE Atomic~~ Fedora Kinoite
isnt kinoite still the current name
Oh, on second look I suppose you are correct. Silverblue and Kinoite kept their names, but Sericea and Onyx (and all future spins) use the Fedora [DE] Atomic structure. I was under the impression based on the announcement that all of them followed that naming structure, since they are collectively referred to as Fedora Atomic Desktop spins now. That actually seems much weirder than having changed them all to the same structure, because it was intended to lessen confusion, but now half of the spins use a different naming scheme than the other? Strange choice imo.

I use 9 systems currently:
- 5 Gentoo
- 2 Arch
- 1 FreeBSD (OpnSense)
- 1 w11
And the w11 is a work laptop that is getting Gentoo whenever I get a minute, leaving w11 on as small a partition as I can get away with for a once a month check in to intune.

Windows 10 or 11 on all (three) day to day systems. Linux Mint on an old laptop which is hardly ever used, and windows xp on an ancient laptop that's only used as music player, and not connected to any network.
I taste the rainbow myself. Here are my PCs and their OS's:
- HP Thin Client t520: Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC IOT with Remote Desktop to my university's AVD instances. May downgrade to 10 IoT due to poor performance
- Gaming PC: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC IOT 21H2
- ThinkPad T480: Windows 10 Pro, may replace with IoT in the future
- Latitude E6420: Linux Mint Debian Edition 6
- iMac 21.5" 2015: Dual boot macOS Ventura and Windows 11
My study is extremely Windows focused (expects use of Microsoft Project, everything submitted in .docx, etc.) and while it isn't impossible to do it without Windows, I also don't want to impede academic progress with macOS or Linux.
However, I have my Latitude which I've been using the most recently for all other study not requiring Windows, and my iMac I got from ewaste for doing anything needing macOS like jail breaking and syncing music to my iPhone 4s
