Nobara linux on my media center/gaming PC. The same on my laptop currently, but I'm a habitual distro-hopper, so I may be on NixOS or Vanilla or maybe Void next week. Whichever I happen to be on, there's a 90% chance I'll be using the Gnome DE.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Kubuntu FTW

Linux Mint. Never needed anything else, and hopefully it'll stay this way..

Linux Mint. When it first came out, it was the first distro where sound and wifi worked out of the box on fresh installations by shipping with restricted drivers. It made installations so easy that I just stopped trying other distros.

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

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

Pop!_OS for desktop, FreeBSD for server

Pop!_OS (Linux)

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

Linux. Pop!_OS

Windows 11

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.

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

EndeavourOS on my laptop, Pop!_OS on my gaming PC.

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.

As a webdev, I'm loving Win11 with WSL2. The new Terminal is great and Powertools make organizing windows on my ultrawide easy. I've had to use exclusively Macs for a while for my last company and was not really a fan.

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

Win 11 because of games, music production and other windows-only tools (TIHI). Some flavor of Debian everywhere else.

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

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

Mxlinux

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)

Pop OS from the start of the year. The Steam Deck showed be his far Linux gaming has come, no issues running the things I play. Glad to be rid of Windows

EndeavourOS with GNOME!

Fedora KDE feels like the perfect blend of customization and stability for me. Oh, and the packages are up to date. I have been on Linux since the early 2000's and finally stopped distrohoping with Fedora about 1 year ago.

Windows 11 ^^ It is what it is

Windows 10 soon to be 11.

Linux gaming has come a long way and I game on my Linux box, but with WSL now I can most of my Linux specific work on my Windows machine and also game which gives me the best of both worlds.

Kubuntu

Windows 10 as long as possible. I think my hardware may support Windows 11, but there's no benefit to me upgrading until I need to.

Debian Sid XFCE.

I use Kubuntu for the kde plasma desktop. It made the switch from windows much easier. I dual boot and occasionally use windows if I want to play a game which doesn’t have Linux support

Arch/KDE on my laptop which is the tinkering machine, Pop!OS and Windows on the desktop that other people use and I'm not allowed to break.

Ubuntu at work, Arch at home. Having a linux machine at work has been an incredible upgrade.

Arch with i3wm

Linux (Arch).

I can't stand Windows anymore. So much crap that I don't want and can't get rid of.
