What OS do you use on your pc and why?

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.

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.

Linux because it runs fast and does what I need it to.

Windows 11:

• Games and every Software I need just works
• Everything else runs in the Browser anyway

I used windows for years but i'm Mac now.

Mainly switched because I have an iphone, apple watch, and airpods so it just seemed to make sense.

It does hurt browsing steam now though. CONSTANTLY finding tons of games I want to play and then they're windows only. ):

used a chromebook for a while, that just sucked all around.

I use ArchLinux BTW, because

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

FreeBSD because it just works. I like the consistency of it.

Fedora! Have been super not a fan of Windows for years now so I avoid it hardcore when I can.

Linux in general is a lot easier to set up programming environments on, and also just generally it's a lot more flexible when it comes to customization, which is definitely important when you're a big picky bitchbaby like I am.

Fedora specifically I like because there's something I just really like about RHEL-related distros (to the point that i use Rocky Linux on my server also). They feel really polished and dnf is probably my favourite package manager of all the ones I've tried so far. I do have a few issues with it, and I miss having access to the AUR when I used various Arch-baseds over the years, but all in all I'm very happy with it and I don't see myself switching distros for desktop use any time soon.

Windows 10 because I don't want to deal with the hassle of anything else.

Strictly Arch Linux since 2008

I use Debian because it's what I've been using for the last twenty-two years.

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.

M2 Macbook Air for personal use and my freelance work and an AMD Ryzen 5600 with a Radeon 6700 XT with Ubuntu for ML/AI hobby work and Windows 11 for some minor gaming here and there.

Xubuntu because I am lazy these days.

Artix Linux, cuz systemd isn’t minimal enough for my insanity, and I don’t have time to compile Gentoo rn

Archcraft with hyprland because it works exactly the way i want it to.

Chromebook because I just dont fucking care anymore.
