For anything non-gaming I use Linux.

For anything gaming I still use Linux.

I use arch btw.

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.

TempleOS

Linux

Permanently Linux since 2001. Debian is life.

Windows. /s

The diagram of Linux fans and Lemmy users is pretty much a single circle.

i get to use linux at home, im forced to use and support windows at work

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)

Linux, it fits my needs better on desktop, and is much less painful to troubleshoot than Windows, with more freedom and control than macOS.

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.

Yes

Windows to play pirated game

Linux for everything else, including work.

Are there seriously no lemmy users on a Mac? Lol.

I use Debian.

Linux for gaming Linux for servers Linux for desktops/notebooks Linux at work Linux for mobile

windows ftw (forced through work) linux btw (because tortuous work)

Both. It's not like you have to use only one.

Linux, but I keep windows on the other drive just in case I need a windows only app. Rarely happens except for VR.

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.

Windows and Linux dual boot on my PC. Linux on Steam Deck (obviously, since it's the default)

Linux all the way, for loads of practical and ethical reasons

GNU/Linux for life. Winbooze only at work, sadly.

Built a new computer last year and didn't want anything to do with win11, so I switched to Linux Mint. I really like it, and there's a lot of help all around online. Thankfully because of Proton, I haven't had any trouble playing any game yet. It's been great!

I do miss ClipStudio for painting and OneNote for ttrpg notes, but I've been making due with Krita and Notion.

I switched to using Manjaro full time recently

macOS, mostly.

Been fiddling with Mint lately on my 2011 Macbook Pro, with a view to using it for self hosting a bunch of stuff, but haven’t really had the time / brane capacity to really figure it all out.

Windows can lick my anus. I have Win11 in a VM on my work Mac, and it’s dreadful.

I use both. Windows for the domain, backup, Video-surveillance, emby and some other critical things, and linux for proxmox and a lot of diverse vms. Mainly ubuntu lts.

It's not a religous thing, it's a pragmatic one. Best tool for the job

Linux. Couldn't be arsed dealing with Windows.

Linux. Seems like Windows comes with a lot of baggage these days.

Windows at home because use computer only for gaming.

Windows at work because required.

Like Linux and used it for years but don't have a usecase currently that justify it.

i switched to linux exclusively i think in 2011. currently using mx linux on my desktop.

Currently Debian.

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

Linux

I distro hop often but im currently using debian.

Linux.

I'd use linux in a heartbeat if it was supported by the tools I use for work.

Fedora KDE on home computer
Manjaro KDE on wife's computer
Endeavor Sway on small laptop
MX Linux XFCE on GPD Pocket
Fedora GNOME on work non-sanctioned laptop
Ubuntu WSL on work sanctioned laptop
