Seven systems in my house -

3 Windows 10 - One my gaming/workstation rig, my living room HTPC, and a Dell XPS 13 1 Ubuntu - Rig I cobbled together from older parts for player 2. 2 SteamOS - They're Steam Decks after all... 1 Windows 11 - Work computer. I use the XPS if I can avoid it.

Right now I'm using Windows 11 but I will most certainly migrate to Fedora in the future.

Edit: I already use Fedora Server on my homeserver.

openSUSE Tumbleweed

Ubuntu 2204 with normal Gnome on a Thinkpad T14, used for both work and personal stuff. Been eyeing Fedora Silverblue for a while…

For gaming I use GeforceNow on that same laptop.

Windows 10 on the HTPC, dual boot to 7 when I need to rip VHS etc.

Windows 10 on main computer as I need google drive sync, visual basic for excel, stream what you hear and Playit Live for broadcasting.

Windows 10 for now. When they EoL it I'll switch to a Linux distro. Not sure what yet. I really like PopOS on my Surface because the gnome interface works well, but I think I'll go with something built with KDE for my desktop

Linux or ChromeOS most often. I keep one older windows 10 laptop around for specific software that won't run on anything else. I don't have to use it very often these days but when I do need it it's always for something important that can't run on any other OS.

I moved my parents to ChromeOS a couple of years ago, I use Linux on my work laptop and on my personal laptop as well.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Pop_OS for the main PC, Ubuntu for the laptop and Debian for all the servers (lots of pis). There are 2 PCs left that run windows 10, one is the media rig and the other was an AMD APU that lived in a briefcase as part of a "totally not laptop" thing I built. Its a slow process to fully migrate away from windows, but so far im managing.

MX Linux, since ~8 years

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

My daily rn is a laptop running Win 10.

I have the parts for a new rig, I'm thinking of running Mint on that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Win 10. But I have Hyper-V enabled so I guess it is technically Hyper-V as the os and windows as the guest os.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Arch on a Chromebook, macOS on a MacBook Air, and FreeBSD on the desktop.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Fedora on my desktop and Linux Mint Debian on my laptop.

There's been some ups and downs with Fedora, but nothing too serious at the end of the day and I do quite like it. LMDE has been as stable as a rock and I haven't had any issues with it. I don't really use my laptop that often and its mostly just for web browsing/other simple things.

Arch on my home laptop and travel laptop, Win10 on my pc

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Debian 12 (Backports)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Windows 11 on my Surface Pro, Windows 10 on my main computer and bedroom computer (the smartest tv is a dumb tv connected to a cheap minipc), and Linux Mint on my server and old laptop.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Win10 on my gaming rig for compatibility and because I'm comfortable with the usage of Windows. Arch Linux with docker containers on the ol' server

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Which one?

Windows, primarily, because I need shit to just function. And there's no competition to OneNote and Office in Open Source land.

But I have multiple VM's and containers running lots of Linux stuff - on Linux boxes because it just can't be beat as a Host. Even VMware is Linux-based.

And there's no competition to OneNote and Office in Open Source land.

I'm curious what is missing between OneNote and something like Obsidian or any of the other notes apps.

I completely understand office though, i find OnlyOffice good enough that i run it even on my Windows setups but I can imagine there being features, keybindings, etc that are not present in any of the alternatives. I've also seen a lot of people switch to using Google Docs exclusively since it helps with collaboration anyway, but I hate how poorly it runs...

because I need shit to just function.

Yeah some things are just not there yet too, like VR... So understandable

Debian Stable. I have a W10 partition but I don't boot into it very often. We're talking about a few times per quarter.
