I wrote my own OS leveraging a custom punch-card computer built from redstone in Minecraft.
yoo fire 🔥
EndeavourOS
Pop!_os
Of the machines I own: 2 are running Ubuntu server (one for hosting a Minecraft server, the other for testing as I’m still relatively new to Linux), a NAS running trueNAS, A laptop running dual boot Windows 10 and Kali, and my main machine running Windows 10 with Kali and Ubuntu running though WSL. As I am typing this, I am installing Mint on one of the drives of my main PC. I’ve been putting it off for way too long as the majority of the programs and games I use do not have Linux support.
Pop_OS for the main PC, Ubuntu for the laptop and Debian for all the servers (lots of pis). There are 2 PCs left that run windows 10, one is the media rig and the other was an AMD APU that lived in a briefcase as part of a “totally not laptop” thing I built. Its a slow process to fully migrate away from windows, but so far im managing.
yeah same
“Totally not a laptop” haha, nice. You should make a post about it somewhere - with pics.
Apologies, I took it apart a few weeks ago as its bits were needed elsewhere, but I can paint a picture. You know those fancy Pelican cases, this was a DIY version of that. It was a cheap silver plastic briefcase with nerdy Linux themed stickers on the back (If it didnt have those on it would look like a nuclear football and freak someone out #ominousbriefcase) I 3D printed some standoffs and mounts for the components, fitted a 22-inch Dell monitor into the lid, used velcro to attach the printed parts and drilled a 2-inch hole in the left side which had a PVC pipe/cap end jammed in the socket to allow a surge supressor to hang out of the case.
The intent was to use it as a recording rig for my local hobby shop so I could record table top games (40K, Warmachine, Battletech, etc.) using OBS to manage cameras. It could handle 4 webcams (2 tripods, 1 ceiling mount, 1 dice cam) and a pair of lav mics. I haden’t used it in about a year, but there were plans to upgrade it as there is need for it again. Its all functionally being replaced by an ATEM mini-Pro and a smaller actual laptop. Unfortunatly I have very little to show for all the nonsense as the guy on the project who was supposed to be the editor never really got around to producing something with the recordings I provided, really I just like playing with the hardware, and this season im going to do the editing myself.
Windows 10 or 11 on all (three) day to day systems. Linux Mint on an old laptop which is hardly ever used, and windows xp on an ancient laptop that’s only used as music player, and not connected to any network.
Ubuntu , I tried switching to arch recently but I could not figure out how to mount my drive that has all movies on it so I switched back for now. Any tips and mounting a NTFS drive .
i tried arch and drivers where missing uuid and grub would not install
DietPi (debian) on all my ARM servers, Fedora-CoreOS on all the x86-64 servers, a pi400 as my desktop running fedora, SteamOS on the steam deck.
OpenSUSE on my desktop, Fedora Silverblue and OpenBSD on my laptop
I think the path i took was something like win98, ME, 2000/NT, fedora core, Ubuntu, Arch, Manjaro, OSX/MacOS but also still using Windows on a corpo job laptop & Linux on work servers.
Fedora on my desktop and Linux Mint Debian on my laptop.
There’s been some ups and downs with Fedora, but nothing too serious at the end of the day and I do quite like it. LMDE has been as stable as a rock and I haven’t had any issues with it. I don’t really use my laptop that often and its mostly just for web browsing/other simple things.
I forgot LMDE existed
lol it definitely doesn’t get the attention the Ubuntu based Mint gets, but I quite like it for what I use it for
alr and true
Win 10. But I have Hyper-V enabled so I guess it is technically Hyper-V as the os and windows as the guest os.
Debian 12 (Backports)
Windows 11 across the board, though I’m trying to migrate. I used Ubuntu as a daily driver in the early 2010s but I was soured by the retirement of Unity and was disappointed by the gaming at the time. These days I’ve liked the idea of KDE Neon, but I’ve got a lot to do to be ready for a full migration. I’d take my time with it but the AI stuff has rushed me to move faster.
There is ubuntu unity which is a ubuntu flavor The ai thing I blocked it in windows not to long ago
I’m vaguely familiar with it, but it seems more like maintaining Unity 7 than continuing development of Unity 8. I’ve also seen UBports Unity8 which seems to have taken a backseat to maintaining Ubuntu Touch so I’m not holding my breath, but thank you!
The Copilot and Recall integrations just happen to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. I’ve been wanting to make all my software as FOSS as possible, and the AI stuff has just been a catalyst. Especially for Adobe, I don’t have a good replacement for Photoshop as GIMP has been a nightmare to use and Photopea isn’t FOSS but I won’t be using any Adobe products ever again.

There is krita but that app is focusing on artists rather then image manipulation I also tried going all foss but its pretty hard
Yeah, Photoshop is honestly a hard piece of software to replace because it frankly does so many different things quite well. Most of those things can be covered by breaking out into multiple software, like how I use Krita for illustration and Aseprite for pixel art, but yeah general image manipulation is really the main thing left.
Windows 10, but planning to switch to openSUSE Leap/Tumbelweed (currently running latter on laptop) or alternatively Fedora Atomic after Win10 EOL.
