I use ArchLinux BTW, because

1. It’s very minimal, no bloatware
2. AUR
   3. I feel superior
3. It just works™*

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.

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’m still using Windows 10 on my personal computer. Oh I’ll probably have to upgrade someday, some game or other program will come out with exclusivity of some kind and I’ll eventually install Windows 11. But for the most part, I don’t want to fuck with it, everything works and I really just don’t want the hassle.

Running Linux Mint on an old laptop, mostly because it’s too old to decently run Windows 10. Don’t use it for much, mostly troubleshooting things.

At work the laptops are Windows 10 and I don’t think there’s a push to update. Of course all the servers are Redhat Enterprise Linux, and that’s where the majority of my work takes place.

Debian Stable 11, shitjustworks

fedora

overall a great experience, very easy to set up and configure, great software support, excellent privacy, etc. my personal favorite linux distro atm. i also like gnome a lot, especially once tweaked with good extensions like dash to dock and transparent top bar.

fuck microsoft and windows.

Arch+Plasma+Wayland+GTX1660Ti+Samsung monitor with freesync120Hz. Great freedom. Great custom. Nice performance in gaming. Great software management. Awesome usability for technical user. I had also install apparmor and firewalld for security and timeshift for btrfs snapshots. I think, for me, there is no sense to switch back to windows.

Strictly Arch Linux since 2008

Arch Linux. Its comfy. I like that I don’t get spied on. Furthermore it is not made by a company and 100% community driven, which makes it the best Distro for my usecase!

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.

Fedora work station, it just works.

I use macos. I find that it gives me a lot of the UNIX stuff (most of the terminal tools that I love) and has a good compromise with quality apps and integration with my phone.

Windows 11 as my daily driver/gaming machine, Debian for my proxmox cluster/vms.

Had Ubuntu for a decade then got bored and turned my hp Spectre laptop into a Hackintosh and got hooked. So it’s macOS now.

Laptop is Linux because it’s sort of required for the work I do.

NetBSD on the home server because of pkgsrc and the ease of customizability.
