TIL that KDE Plasma is probably the most represented DE on Lemmy 😍

Windows 10. And seeing the replies of our fellow fediversers, I think I’m not mainstream here 🤣

My main gaming PC is Windows 10. Other devices have varying flavors of Ubuntu Linux.

Main PC is Win 10 for gaming and audio production. MacOS for work.

I use arch btw. I am waiting for vanilla os v2 for my laptop though, I think it would be great for a device which I want to "just work". Rn it has Ubuntu with some dell repos which have not been updated since Ubuntu 20.

Linux (Arch with KDE Plasma)

Kubuntu FTW

Endeavour OS

Pop!_OS for desktop, FreeBSD for server

Heavy gamer here. My main Distro is EndeavourOS, came from Linux Mint months ago. My homelab runs on Ubuntu Server.

Manjaro

Gentoo on my desktop, and Fedora on my laptop.

Linux openSUSE

MacOS. Looks like there's tens of us on Lemmy. Tens!

Windows 10. No idea why anyone is using Win11.

I've tried Linux every few years for the last few decades and it's never been at a point where I can switch. I am in the process of trying again, however.

Started today trying to dual boot it on a Windows laptop that has a boot SSD and data HDD. Tried resizing the HDD and installing Nobara and can't get the machine to boot into Grub (the suggested fix on their site didn't work, possibly because of the two physical drives). Searching for a solution was fruitless and I'm honestly over it already. I want an OS, not a hobby.

The very definition of insanity right here. There is ALWAYS something that doesn't work and I'm not a fucking idiot but I'm not a developer either. Linux fans act like people on Windows have no excuse not to switch but I've been trying since the 90s and Linux just does everything it can to frustrate me. God knows how someone who's not tech savvy is supposed to figure anything out. /rant

Linux. Pop!_OS

Fedora

On my main computer I use Arch. My laptop is a MacBook, so that one runs macOS.

Windows 10 Home

EndeavourOS

Fedora, pretty much everything I want from a Linux distro and desktop OS, fits my needs perfectly and what I would recommend most people.

Fedora Workstation. Everything just works out of the box, even AAC codec with Bose headphone.

Fedora Silverblue. But since Fedora aims to include telemetry (although in a reasonable way) by version 40, I'll switch soon to something else. I feel it might be time to give BSD an honest attempt.

Windows 11. I don't especially like Windows 11 but dev and gaming is pretty great on Windows. Visual Studio is pretty important for me too.

I duel boot. I use Mint 99% of the time & Win10 for that 1% of software/games I can't get working.

Manjaro on my PC and Fedora on my laptop.

I've been using windows for years now and I don't think I'll ever switch to another OS, Linux or otherwise.

Linux Mint with gnome desktop

Ubuntu Server for my self-hosted cloud service

Pop_OS!

MacOS with a tiling window manager for work, Win10 on PC for gaming and Linux on all servers. I would run Linux for work if Office, Adobe and esp. Outlook ran on it, MacOS with Yabai + SKHD is the closest I can get to a Linux experience while still being functional for work.

Dual boot NixOS for productivity and Windows for games. I do also have a macbook that I rarely use.

Windows 11. I'd love to switch to Linux but I have a few edge cases that keep me from doing that right now. I made the mistake of buying Forza Horizon 5 on the Windows store instead of steam. I know I can move my save over to the steam version and rebuy it, but I got the premium version and have no idea what DLC I need to buy again when I look at the store page. And I have an oculus quest which I use with Oculus Link to play PCVR games. There's ALVR to do it on Linux, but compared to link it's not going to cut it for me. Once I have a new VR headset (AKA when valve replaces the Index) and Forza horizon 6 is out/5 is EOL I'm more than happy to make the jump.

Ubuntu. I've used Windows since v1 (yeah I'm an oldie), played with Linux on raspberry pi's etc. but had to use Ubuntu when I joined a digital team and over time switched back to windows less and less to now it's just for odd gaming.

I use Garuda Gnome Linux. It's setup nearly how I would set up an arch install from scratch, just working out of the box. I've done a lot of distro hopping in the past year, but I keep going back to Garuda.

I have dual boot Manjaro/Windows, but honestly I haven't used the windows partition in two years except for the very occasional moment I need to check if a document format is alright to send to someone, or anyone else not familiar with Linux needs to do something.

Manjaro Linux, also for my gaming. Booted up my secondary Windows drive yesterday on my main computer, just to update it.

Debian Linux (stable)

Currently on ArcoLinux on both my desktop and laptop (although they both have windows installs that I basically never use except for the rare case I need windows software or games)

linux

NetBSD :)

Win 10 but I'm craving to install mint/endeavour.
