    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.

    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.

    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.

      So actually companies using RHEL! I only know of the giants like Meta leeching on CentOS, which drives me nuts.

        Meta uses CentOS but they aren’t leeches. They contribute a ton to CentOS, EPEL, and further upstream in Fedora and in individual software projects.

    Heavily-modified, Snap-less Ubuntu 23.04 on my desktop/laptop and Debian on all of my servers. I keep a Windows VM for specialty cases, but hardly ever use it…

    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 Arch btw.

    It’s just clean and simple. I’ve never had a problem with reinstalling things, so I love the idea of a bare-bones operating system where I can install what I need and nothing else. I swapped to Manjaro for a while because my last attempt at arch became unstable, but I’ve got a good 8 or so years of Linux under my belt now. I feel much more comfortable maintaining rolling release. Also the AUR is unmatched. I’m spoiled by it.

    I used to use Linux, but Windows just has better support for most apps and drivers so currently Windows 10. I doubt I’ll ever switch to Windows 11. It seems pretty iffy with the lack of customization and ads appearing in the folder menus.

    Windows 10 bc I play lots of games and it just runs. Not upgrading to Windows 11 bc I want to reinstall my PC when I do it but I don’t want to do all that at the moment.

      As a non technical user that has switched to Ubuntu from Windows, Linux is light years ahead. Any os without a decent package manager like apt or flatpak is unusable for me and that’s without mentioning the ads…

    We’re an all-linux household.

    • Endeavoros on my gaming desktop

    • Kubuntu on my partner’s Framework laptop
    • Endeavoros on my server. Plus a handful of Pis and appliances.
