What OS do you use on your pc and why?

@Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de · 2Y

Windows 11:

Games and every Software I need just works
Everything else runs in the Browser anyway

GNU/Dhruv · 2Y

We’re an all-linux household.

Endeavoros on my gaming desktop
Garuda on my Framework laptop
Kubuntu on my partner’s Framework laptop
Endeavoros on my server. Plus a handful of Pis and appliances.

I used windows for years but i’m Mac now.

Mainly switched because I have an iphone, apple watch, and airpods so it just seemed to make sense.

It does hurt browsing steam now though. CONSTANTLY finding tons of games I want to play and then they’re windows only. ):

used a chromebook for a while, that just sucked all around.

M2 Macbook Air for personal use and my freelance work and an AMD Ryzen 5600 with a Radeon 6700 XT with Ubuntu for ML/AI hobby work and Windows 11 for some minor gaming here and there.

Xubuntu because I am lazy these days.

@sexy_peach@feddit.de · 2Y

Linux because it runs fast and does what I need it to.

@Jaximus@lemmy.ml · 2Y

As a non technical user that has switched to Ubuntu from Windows, Linux is light years ahead. Any os without a decent package manager like apt or flatpak is unusable for me and that’s without mentioning the ads…

I’m still using Windows 10 on my personal computer. Oh I’ll probably have to upgrade someday, some game or other program will come out with exclusivity of some kind and I’ll eventually install Windows 11. But for the most part, I don’t want to fuck with it, everything works and I really just don’t want the hassle.

Running Linux Mint on an old laptop, mostly because it’s too old to decently run Windows 10. Don’t use it for much, mostly troubleshooting things.

At work the laptops are Windows 10 and I don’t think there’s a push to update. Of course all the servers are Redhat Enterprise Linux, and that’s where the majority of my work takes place.

@harpuajim@lemmy.ml · 2Y

Windows 10 because I don’t want to deal with the hassle of anything else.

Artix Linux, cuz systemd isn’t minimal enough for my insanity, and I don’t have time to compile Gentoo rn

Archcraft with hyprland because it works exactly the way i want it to.

Chromebook because I just dont fucking care anymore.

mo_ztt ✅ · 2Y

Dude, except for gaming, Chromebook is the unironically the best laptop platform I have found. If you get one that’s not cheaped-out on its hardware, then it does the simple stuff quickly, quite well, and without any extra nonsense, and then you install Crostini and you have a full-featured Linux environment with excellent driver support. If you want gaming you’re screwed, but for everything else it’s clearly superior IMO.

I was 100 into Stadia for gaming on my laptop before it was axed. I’m still bitter about that.

mo_ztt ✅ · edit-2 2Y

I used to play Serious Sam on Stadia on my (not overly fancy) Chromebook and it worked smoothly 99% of the time. All those games, yeah it was sad :-(.

JoYo 🇺🇸 · 2Y

at least I got a couple grand payback. i used that to get a steam deck which is pretty magical.

@Borgzilla@lemmy.ca · 2Y

I use Debian because it’s what I’ve been using for the last twenty-two years.

@tiwenty@lemmy.world · 2Y

Btw I use Archlinux

I switched to it 50% for the AUR: I regularly install softwares not from the classic repos, and the AUR is a godsend compared to cloning a Github, make install and thinking about updating it. The rest is a mix of the ArchWiki, its lightness and openness.

@NoNatNovember@sopuli.xyz · edit-2 2Y

I use ArchLinux BTW, because

It’s very minimal, no bloatware
AUR
~~3. I feel superior~~
It just works™*

@grte@sh.itjust.works · 2Y

Strictly Arch Linux since 2008
