Kubuntu on my Laptop, Windows 11/KDE Neon dualboot on my gaming pc.

[–] Templa@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Windows and WSL with Ubuntu.

[–] orangeboats@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Arch Linux. I also dual boot Windows 10 but 99% of my uptime is on Arch.

Hackintosh Mojave and Win10(just gaming) for my desktop and Linux Mint on my laptop(MBP 2012). Probably going to switch to Linux instead of Mojave for the desktop soon though. I've stayed far of away of "eco systems" and don't have any workflow that doesn't use open formats, so I'm very platform agonist.

MacOS of course, or Win11, or Garuda. Depends on how I feel or what I need to do. No it was not made by Apple.

[–] tok3n@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Kubuntu 22.04, while my home server is Debian 12.

[–] director@some.institute 2 points 2 years ago

Mac OS Ventura at work. Win10 at home

[–] araquen@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I have always been an avid Mac user, so currently Ventura. That said, I did build a frankenbox when I wasn’t sure what would happen with gaming on my Mac (I don’t have major requirements, quite content with my little corner of MMORPG and the occasion Steam games), and that has Windows 11.

I have worked cross-platform for many years, and frankly I liked the version of Windows where the window art was translucent? Was that Windows 7? I liked that. I really did not like when Microsoft made their OS look like their phone (and yes I am cranky Apple made their desktop OS look similar to their phone).

I have not dabbled in Linux, but that is mostly because I am that most dangerous of users: the one who has partial knowledge and too much curiosity. I’m the person who thought you could upgrade Windows by simply replacing the io subsystem on a desktop with the one from more recent version on a laptop (back in that day, you could take the new system folder off a Mac and put it on a Mac with an oiler version and it would upgrade). It took 2 weeks to rebuild that PC, the entire machine needed to be wiped clean, we had to dig up the install floppies to get the CD to work to be able to use the system CDs to install a fresh copy of the OS. I am a menace to technology. ;-)

Linux Mint with Cinnamon and XFCE. I also own a Mac (actually its my company computer), but i keep it for Power Point and Microsoft Office. My company is ok for me to work with my personal Linux computer, as long as i show them proof it's encrypted. Nice guys.

Windows 11 on my main Desktop, mainly because anti cheat. Debian on my Raspberry Pi. And SteamOS obviously on my Steam Deck.

[–] Woozy@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Kubuntu 22.04 on my laptop & Ubuntu Mate 22.04 on my desktop/server.

[–] cccc@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Windows 10 on my main computer, Mint on my HTPC which is getting a lot more use.

[–] Blamemeta@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Win10 so I can play heavily modded skyrim

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Windows 11 because the games I play don't support Linux.

[–] GutterPunch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Installed: Windows 10, Windows 7, Lubuntu LTS, ZealOS. VMs for MacOS, Android-x86, and Haiku.

[–] solstice@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I used to have strong opinions about operating systems. Installed various Linux builds and boot loaders to run different OS's. Etc

Now I use windows. I can't even tell you what version without looking. 10 I guess? Windows finally "just works" and I haven't had a BSOD in forever so I really don't care.

[–] Whitt@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago

I have a home server and a laptop. Both run different versions of Ubuntu

[–] Sigurre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Windows 11 on my gaming rig, macOS for all other computing tasks. If I could reliably game on a Mac with good quality, I would. I did some Linux gaming for awhile and was really glad that it had come a long way, but I like not having to think about any kind of technical troubleshooting (usually) when gaming on Windows. And the overall usability of a unix OS is hard to beat.

[–] DeeBeeDouble@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Fedora kinoite/silverblue

[–] popemichael@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Windows 11 is my newest "main" computer. I also just got a nice Win 11 laptop for my new business.

Though my "working" IT laptop boots with both Windows 10 and Ubuntu.

[–] eleitl@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Ubuntu for quite a few years but I'm going back to Debian next.
