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.”
My entire homelab is Linux based. Still use Windows on my desktop.
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.
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.

macOS
Arch Linux with Hyprland and no GUI apps except Firefox and Steam, I don’t even have a file manager
Are you the guy on the Linux memes made by Windows users?
Damn, I almost have the exact same setup, but I have some GUI apps.
Puts chain mail on
Sigh…
Windows. Because gaming.
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.
I develop on C# and game heavily, both things on Linux Mint.
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.
Gentoo with a custom tiling window manager written in x86 assembly in my free time.
Just kidding, I use Windows.
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.
+1 for Fedora. Red Hat’s new policy to restrict open source code though, IDK.
As far as I understand, because Fedora is upstream of RHEL, nothing in fedora gets restricted. Contribution from RH could get less over time.
Linux Mint.
NixOS ftw! xD
I use Arch btw
I use MX Linux. I stopped using Ubuntu because of snaps.
Can you please tell me what problem you had with snaps?
Well, they were slower to run. Moreover, snaps are larger than traditional packages, so I don’t like the idea of using more space unnecessarily.
TIL, thanks a bunch
Arch Linux (BTW)
Pop OS on my System 76 desktop (Thelio Mira). Couldn’t be happier with it.
Arch btw
