NixOS, because all of the config in my system is declared in a few files on GitHub and it has a huge package repo.
Also it has all of the other advantages of a Linux distro, like privacy, speed and customisability.
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.
Linux because it runs fast and does what I need it to.
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…
Linyx because it doent get in my way unlike windows, and because I like FOSS. Arch linux in particular, but anything is better than windows or macos. (well, not chromeOS)
Strictly Arch Linux since 2008
I use ArchLinux BTW, because
- It’s very minimal, no bloatware
- AUR
3. I feel superior - It just works™*
Windows 11:
- Games and every Software I need just works
- Everything else runs in the Browser anyway
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.
Arch Linux for day to day/work, and windows 11 for gaming, or work if needed.
FreeBSD because it just works. I like the consistency of it.
Windows 10 because I don’t want to deal with the hassle of anything else.
Windows 10 - work PC because I have to + WSL
Arch - Service laptop - because I hate my free time(just kidding BTW)
PopOS - personal laptop - because of nvidia and gaming
Linux Mint - family laptop - because of maintenance and stability
Ubuntu - Server…well I’m lazy
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.
I use Debian because it’s what I’ve been using for the last twenty-two years.
MacOS, because Mac hardware. Dual booted with Mint OS.
