    Windows. Albeit 11 sucks so much that I fully intend to give Linux a shot at my next hardware upgrade.

    Running windows mostly because I really don’t want to fight or research, etc… after doing just that 40hr+/WK. You folks have me convinced it won’t be the hell past experience made it to be.

    Laptop runs debian but I don’t use it much.

    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.

    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.

    I use Fedora 40, with KDE spin since I’m not a fan of the GNOME UI. I actually have windows on a sperate SSD on standby just in case I need some program that won’t work even on WINE. The user experience is much better than windows, no random bugs/inexplicable disconnection of USB devices, No ads, No random bloatware that can only be uninstalled through the terminal like edge, The right-click menu doesn’t take 6 seconds to load for inexplicable reasons & it doesn’t raise the temperature of my PC by 10C because I opened my web browser or VSC

    I can’t get SteamVR to work in Linux unfortunately, it’s the primary thing preventing me from deleting my Windows partition

      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.

    Switched to Mint for desktop. Been mostly fine. Getting it installed was surprisingly harrowing. Annoyed that most mod tools for games are targeting windows. I guess I have to figure out wine and its whole prefix system.
