    Peppermint OS , perfect for just working , and customise. But with the rise of asahi Linux my next computer will be a Mac. I also have a Windows AME install I’m not using just in case I need it. For phones , graphene OS . The best there is.

    Windows 11. Don’t @ me, I don’t have the mental or physical energy to deal with Linux. I’ve never had a Linux install that’s had close to everything working, there’s always a device (network, sound, graphics, usb toaster) that doesn’t work and attempts to follow people’s instructions to fix it either make it worse or just do nothing.

    Maybe I’m just useless or unlucky, but I’m due to die in a few decades and I don’t have time to deal with that nonsense when Windows does everything I want it to.

      theres wayyy more windows 11 users than linux users but this is the one place the “enlightened pc users” cam flex their ability to navigate a command prompt

      windows runs fine, plays every game, software is generally made for it, people who dont like it have a very niche issue with it which is fine

      but its a good OS if you just want to use your computer like a normal human

        Windows has a command prompt, and you can even install a Linux shell on it and use that if you need/want to these days. Windows Subsystem for Linux.

      I heard a saying once, “Linux is for people who don’t value their time”

      Thought it was pretty funny

      I totally get that Linux is excellent, but the Linux community can be exhausting sometimes.

      “It’s so easy to use these days!” is rapidly followed by “You just need to grep the package and recompile it for your kernel.”

      Windows 11 user here too. I just install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) as an alternative as I’m too used to the Windows interface. Maybe one day I’ll fully switch.

      that’s ok we all have our reasons to use whatever we are using. Im using windows but dual boot arch sometimes for coding because I own a 9 year old nvidia card. Fuck you nvidia ! I will switch uninstall windows as soon as I have enough money to upgrade to an amd gpu.

      Recently switched back to Windows. I had Pop OS working pretty well with some workarounds for some of my favorite games, but taking time to get them working was draining.

    Debian. On every computer with a physical keyboard. And all servers. Mainly because of philosophy, stability, release cycle (2 years for major updates which I find neither too longnkor too short) and having gotten (is that proper english lol) used to it.

      Windows isn’t a bad OS. It’s not perfect but neither is Linux. I use Windows because I love .NET and because of gaming.

          How do you build ui apps on Linux?? If there’s a way to build aWPF app on Linux I’d definitely be stoked.

            Specifically WPF there’s Avalonia. But you got MAUI, and Uno. I won’t say Mono, because…well…Mono. But there are choices.

              If you tell me MAUI or Uno are better than WinUI I’d be tempted to try. I think I upset the poor Bing AI asking questions about WinUI the other day when it finally gave up and said something akin to “It seems like WinUI may not be ready for what you are trying to accomplish yet.”

        Yup, gaming and at this point I’m pretty entrenched.

        I’ve tried Linux multiple times and might try it again, but usually it comes down to gaming.

    Fedora. I have yet to stumble upon stuff that doesn’t run. I have no problems working nor gaming so no need (or wish) for Windows.

        As far as I understand, because Fedora is upstream of RHEL, nothing in fedora gets restricted. Contribution from RH could get less over time.

        I haven’t used EndeavourOS much for gaming. How is your experience gaming on EndeavourOS?

          I stick to games that have a Gold+ rating on ProtonDB and can’t say I’ve run into any real issues. I use Nvidia and Endeavour have a really neat guide on how to install the drivers etc. The main reason I went with Pop OS for my laptop was because I really like their OOB setup for Gnome

            I use Nvidia as well, and has had very little trouble with it on POP.

            Edit: a letter.
