    On laptop Arch Linux with KDE because all is automatic, on gaming PC Arch Linux with i3wm because games and all runs so fast and so well.

      Ay, recently jumped on debian!

      Running debian on a vm, till I get familiar enough to fully replace my win10 os (probably in 9months max).😄

    Been 100% Linux for over 3 years. All my servers, my fancy gaming PC, my personal laptop, my side business laptop, my work laptop, my Steam Deck, all Linux.

    No dual boot, I have a single Windows VM on my work laptop to test Windows apps because my workplace is a Windows shop.

    I don’t miss Windows even a little bit. I am so much more free and enjoy computing way more now.

      I do use a Mac and I hate it… It’s a birthday gift from my family, because owning a Mac makes the “man”…

      Uuhg, I always need to learn things twice… First how it works on Linux and than how to reproduce the same on Mac…

      There are to many shitty workarounds that do not behave the same way Linux does even though it’s UNIX based.

      • .plist files comes to mind
      • how to make a samba share mount on boot/access
      • Default’s to zsh
      • Shitty default terminal and dumb keyboard shortcuts…
      • Default applications are useless… (Thanks homebrew 👏)

      I fucking hate it… And after 4 years of intense use I still do not understand why people would willingly buy something like that closed crap ecosystem. Maybe just a hipster thing…

      Are there seriously no lemmy users on a Mac?

      Artist are probably still on Reddit to access the larger user base.

      I bought a old Imac at a thrift store and put XFCE on it. It was a great machine until the power supply finally gave out. I would do it again if I had the chance.

    Both. I’d prefer Linux because it respects me as a user, but unfortunately too much stuff constantly breaks to fully convert. The moment I can play Assetto Corsa with all my mods using my wheel in VR I’ll consider fully switching. Many other games already work though, so I’m slowly converting to using Linux as my default and Windows as the exception instead of the other way around.

    (I use Arch btw)

    GNU/Linux only, with KDE Plasma for desktop as possible. Using it on work laptop (Kubuntu), home laptop (openSUSE Tumbleweed), PC (openSUSE Tumbleweed, also used for gaming), Steam Deck (Arch-based SteamOS). I don’t use spyware/adware so Windows is out of question for me. Also it is not free as in freedom and opensource.
