do you use linux or windows? i use ubuntu!
Right now trying out Arch to get rid of my windows machine. It still has a lot of quirks but its fine so far. Most alarmingly i still have to find out how to make it use my grapics card properly.
Linux Mint
Linux for gaming Linux for servers Linux for desktops/notebooks Linux at work Linux for mobile
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.
Linux, but sometimes I have to use Windows.
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.
I use both
Windows at work and Arch at home.
windows ftw (forced through work) linux btw (because tortuous work)
For anything non-gaming I use Linux.
For anything gaming I still use Linux.
You had me in the first half. Not gonna lie.
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
Are there seriously no lemmy users on a Mac? Lol.
I use Debian.
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…
My work computer is a MacBook since I need it for JAMF stuff but all my personal machines are Linux or dual-booted w/Windows
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.
Windows. /s
The diagram of Linux fans and Lemmy users is pretty much a single circle.
I use arch btw.
I also use Arch, btw.
I use doors btw
I use Kubuntu 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.
