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.
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…
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 use ArchLinux BTW, because
- It’s very minimal, no bloatware
- AUR
3. I feel superior - It just works™*
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 have tried various distros over the last 15 years, starting with Ubuntu, debian, Crunchbang(alltime-favorite), Arch, Fedora and so on. Currently with Linux Mint. Just works and I like the Debian environment.
Strictly Arch Linux since 2008
Linyx because it doent get in my way unlike windows, and because I like FOSS. Arch linux in particular, but anything is better than windows or macos. (well, not chromeOS)
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…
Ubuntu / Kubuntu.
I tried Arch (Manjaro) for a while but was totally lost every time it broke down, which it did a lot. Every update felt like a gamble. The AUR is great but I need more stability.
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.
Fedora on my PC and Laptop. It has a big community of users and pretty much everything works. Used to use Arch btw (Arco Linux).
Windows 10, works for everything I need and never had any reason to change to another OS.
Linux mint. I stopped doing any gaming and Windows has become an advertisement platform rather than an OS.
Windows 10 - work PC because I have to + WSL
Arch - Service laptop - because I hate my free time(just kidding BTW)
PopOS - personal laptop - because of nvidia and gaming
Linux Mint - family laptop - because of maintenance and stability
Ubuntu - Server…well I’m lazy
