Arch btw
Windows 11. Don't @ me, I don't have the mental or physical energy to deal with Linux. I've never had a Linux install that's had close to everything working, there's always a device (network, sound, graphics, usb toaster) that doesn't work and attempts to follow people's instructions to fix it either make it worse or just do nothing.
Maybe I'm just useless or unlucky, but I'm due to die in a few decades and I don't have time to deal with that nonsense when Windows does everything I want it to.
Fedora, first I just went with it to try it, but now I stick with it. It's great because things just work, and I haven't come across problems I didn't know how to fix.
MacOS and I'm certainly never going away from that. Just perfect for my use case with nice unix base and a great gui. best of both worlds
At work I have had to use macOS for two years now and I still can't get over how annoying their GUI is. I'm surprised every time someone praises it.
I've been in the same boat, and ended up installing a lot of utils just to keep my sanity. I used this guy as a primary resource: https://youtu.be/cfsNO14hikA
Oh yes, me too, Magnet, Amphetamine, Karabiner, Forklift, qView.
What I'm missing is a good solution for the calender. The integration with Exchange calenders is broken since Ventura, the Webview of OWA drives me up walls, the Thunderbird integration with Add-Ons I didn't get to work so far.
Debian Bookworm KDE - though I have to admit that it's not my final destination when it comes to distro hopping, I guess. Currently thinking about giving Zorin OS a go.
Solus Plasma, nothing really gives me such a home. I tried others but nope
Artix Linux
Same. With Deepin desktop. Doesn't work properly but doesn't stop me from using it :)
Nice, always wanted to give deepin a spin
mac for working, windows for gaming, linux for serving
The same as all my other computers: NixOS.
I am lazy and this way they all run exactly the same config.
Fedora Workstation. Everything just works out of the box, even AAC codec with Bose headphone.
Fedora
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.
I just hope we get more immutable distros by then.
Just installed Fedora Kinoite. I'm running immutably now
I dualboot Windows 10 Pro and Fedora 38 KDE Spin on my home desktop.
I use Fedora for programming and to administer my other systems (Minecraft server, NAS, Raspberry Pi), and Windows for gaming.
I plan to move gaming to Linux too, but so far I've been too lazy to make the jump. I'm also not sure if I should go with an extra install of Arch or just try to do it on my Fedora.
Linux full-time on all of my machines since 2007 (various distros over the years, of course).
Same for me. I think I wouldn't even be a computer addict if I had to use something else
Debian. On every computer with a physical keyboard. And all servers. Mainly because of philosophy, stability, release cycle (2 years for major updates which I find neither too longnkor too short) and having gotten (is that proper english lol) used to it.
MacOS for work. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my private.
Windows 10. And seeing the replies of our fellow fediversers, I think Iโm not mainstream here ๐คฃ
Nah, most people use windows. It's just that most of them don't care about such things.
Fedora on my laptop and windows 11 on my desktop gaming PC
I use Windows 11 and honestly am pretty happy with it. My laptop runs on fedora. I would Consider Switching to Linux on my Desktop but i do music production and some of my soft and Hardware (NI maschine mk3 and some VSTs) dont run on Linux. As long as that is the case, Switching doesnt make sense for me.
Edit: if anyone has suggestions how to get maschine, vsts from NI komplete and VSTs in General to run on Linux, i would be super happy. As a second DAW i usw bitwig which supports linux but as all my other stuff is windows Based im pretty much tied to Microsoft
