For everything but VR, Arch Linux with KDE Plasma. For VR, Windows 10

I've played VR on Linux before with my Vive but it's definitely not feature complete yet. I just got Knuckles for it though so I've been using the Vive with them a lot recently, so I might start trying it more often. The lack of desktop view in SteamVR on Linux is really annoying though (I got it to work once, but that was the only thing that worked at the time lol)

Debian Bookworm KDE - though I have to admit that it's not my final destination when it comes to distro hopping, I guess. Currently thinking about giving Zorin OS a go.

[–] dosse91@lemmy.trippy.pizza 3 points 1 year ago

Arch with KDE on my desktop where I play games and fuck around, Manjaro KDE on my work laptop, Debian on my servers. Doesn't get much better than that.

[–] Kazumara@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

I dualboot Windows 10 Pro and Fedora 38 KDE Spin on my home desktop.

I use Fedora for programming and to administer my other systems (Minecraft server, NAS, Raspberry Pi), and Windows for gaming.

I plan to move gaming to Linux too, but so far I've been too lazy to make the jump. I'm also not sure if I should go with an extra install of Arch or just try to do it on my Fedora.

Windows 11 ^^ It is what it is

[–] ppp@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Arch with i3wm

[–] Socket462@feddit.it 3 points 1 year ago

Windows 11 as my everyday os

But everything around me is Linux (proxmox running Debian LXC) or BSD (opnsense, truenas)

[–] MangoKangaroo@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Debian 12 with GNOME. I'm boring and just want something that works. :)

[–] Yuutzyu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Fedora 38 and Windows 10 on dual boot, though I mostly just use Fedora.

Ubuntu. For at least a decade now, I'm sure.

[–] hamburglar26@wilbo.tech 3 points 1 year ago

Windows 10 soon to be 11.

Linux gaming has come a long way and I game on my Linux box, but with WSL now I can most of my Linux specific work on my Windows machine and also game which gives me the best of both worlds.

[–] jetsetdorito@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Windows.. for gaming on my desktop and Photoshop on my laptop.. I know there's alternatives, but not without compromise

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Arch/KDE on my laptop which is the tinkering machine, Pop!OS and Windows on the desktop that other people use and I'm not allowed to break.

[–] darkgeek@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I use Gentoo because it's quite customizable. What's more, building a whole system from source is more secureπŸ˜„.

Linux, I like my main boxen to be stable. Unlike my Windows game box.

[–] IlliteratiDomine@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ubuntu at work, Arch at home. Having a linux machine at work has been an incredible upgrade.

Windows 10 + linux mint dual booted on my desktop which is my current main, but I have windows 11 on my laptop that will become my main computer because college. Unfortunately windows 11 is required, i dont even know if stuff like solidworks that i will have to use would run on linux. I am also just more used to windows in general

[–] ttk@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

mac for working, windows for gaming, linux for serving

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Manjaro, because it's up to date while easy to use.

EndeavourOS on desktop and laptop. It's been working great for years

[–] mobcharacter@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I've been using Windows 11 and Ubuntu with dual boot on my laptop, but a few days ago I tried Linux Mint, and it's awesome. Now I plan to switch from Ubuntu to Linux Mint.

[–] farmer_bobathan@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I use arch on my laptops, debian on my servers, and I recommend fedora to others. I'm also nix/guix curious.

[–] spauldo@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

KDE Neon. It's Ubuntu LTS with the latest KDE development stuff.

I generally dislike Ubuntu because they have some really odd breakages and bad defaults, but Debian just gets too out of date eventually. I do use Debian for anything that needs Linux and isn't my main desktop, though (and *BSD if it just needs UNIX).

[–] User0705@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Win 11 it just works for me

[–] sudoreboot@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

NixOS. I distrohopped for years but now I've landed and it has been several years since I felt any urge to explore alternatives (maybe with the exception of Guix, which is basically the same idea but everything is in Guile Scheme (Lisp)).

I'm never going back to a mutable OS if I can help it.

Windows, because gaming. Sticking with 10 as long as possible (LTSC), maybe 12 will be worth upgrading to

[–] NENathaniel@vlemmy.net 3 points 1 year ago

Windows on desktop, Mac on laptop (altho likely switching to Framework with windows soon)

[–] EugeneNine@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Slackware Linux

[–] world_hopper@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Windows 10 but I do most of my work in an ubuntu 22.04 VM in virtualbox. But use windows for games and casual use.

Server runs ubuntu 20.04 server which has a bunch of services for my network and my main storage.

Laptop runs ubuntu 22.04 desktop. It's an old laptop so I'm using ubuntu to extend its life.

I use Kubuntu for the kde plasma desktop. It made the switch from windows much easier. I dual boot and occasionally use windows if I want to play a game which doesn’t have Linux support

[–] Nyanix@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

My partner and I have been on Manjaro for 3 years and never looked back

[–] OldFartPhil@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Debian Stable (Bookworm)

[–] pixelprimer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Fedora, used Arch for many years but decided to try it out and have really enjoyed it. After Red Hats RHEL decisions I might swap to arch or nix os.

[–] ghashul@feddit.dk 3 points 1 year ago

Windows 11, but I'm currently playing around with different Linux distros trying to see if I can finally get rid of windows for good.
