Been 100% Linux for over 3 years. All my servers, my fancy gaming PC, my personal laptop, my side business laptop, my work laptop, my Steam Deck, all Linux.

No dual boot, I have a single Windows VM on my work laptop to test Windows apps because my workplace is a Windows shop.

I don’t miss Windows even a little bit. I am so much more free and enjoy computing way more now.

i get to use linux at home, im forced to use and support windows at work

Linux

Permanently Linux since 2001. Debian is life.

Linux for laptops. Windows for desktops.

Linux is not 100% there for me to really use. It never really was. I’ve sometimes tried to go through a folder of all of the setup files for programs and utilities I commonly use on Windows. I just know for a fact that while Linux has open source counterparts to some of them, they don’t for all of them. Even if Linux did, it always feels like I have to take an extra step or two, to run it as opposed to on Windows by simply clicking it to run.

Then it’s a matter of driver support as well.

Then it’s the relentless browbeating from Linux fanboys that just turn me off from considering going full Linux. I keep envisioning this scenario where someone is calling tech support for like an audio issue and the support guy is going “I see, well…all you have to do is…GO LINUX!” he shouts in the ear piece at the caller. He would repeat “GO LINUX!” over and over until the caller hangs up, while he’s still on the line, drooling over himself as he mumbles “Linux…” while imagining the Tux penguin, Torvalds and other open source figures. Eyes glossed over.

That’s the kind of fanboyism I can’t stand with Linux.

windows ftw (forced through work) linux btw (because tortuous work)

Linux desktop and laptop

On laptop Arch Linux with KDE because all is automatic, on gaming PC Arch Linux with i3wm because games and all runs so fast and so well.

Linux

I distro hop often but im currently using debian.

Built a new computer last year and didn’t want anything to do with win11, so I switched to Linux Mint. I really like it, and there’s a lot of help all around online. Thankfully because of Proton, I haven’t had any trouble playing any game yet. It’s been great!

I do miss ClipStudio for painting and OneNote for ttrpg notes, but I’ve been making due with Krita and Notion.

Windows at home because use computer only for gaming.

Windows at work because required.

Like Linux and used it for years but don’t have a usecase currently that justify it.

I like that you’re asking this on Lemmy, home of Linux lovers.

Windows to play pirated game

Linux for everything else, including work.

I use Fedora 40, with KDE spin since I’m not a fan of the GNOME UI. I actually have windows on a sperate SSD on standby just in case I need some program that won’t work even on WINE. The user experience is much better than windows, no random bugs/inexplicable disconnection of USB devices, No ads, No random bloatware that can only be uninstalled through the terminal like edge, The right-click menu doesn’t take 6 seconds to load for inexplicable reasons & it doesn’t raise the temperature of my PC by 10C because I opened my web browser or VSC
