Peppermint OS , perfect for just working , and customise. But with the rise of asahi Linux my next computer will be a Mac. I also have a Windows AME install I’m not using just in case I need it. For phones , graphene OS . The best there is.
Windows 11. Don’t @ me, I don’t have the mental or physical energy to deal with Linux. I’ve never had a Linux install that’s had close to everything working, there’s always a device (network, sound, graphics, usb toaster) that doesn’t work and attempts to follow people’s instructions to fix it either make it worse or just do nothing.
Maybe I’m just useless or unlucky, but I’m due to die in a few decades and I don’t have time to deal with that nonsense when Windows does everything I want it to.
theres wayyy more windows 11 users than linux users but this is the one place the “enlightened pc users” cam flex their ability to navigate a command prompt
windows runs fine, plays every game, software is generally made for it, people who dont like it have a very niche issue with it which is fine
but its a good OS if you just want to use your computer like a normal human
Windows has a command prompt, and you can even install a Linux shell on it and use that if you need/want to these days. Windows Subsystem for Linux.
Windows 11 user here too. I just install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) as an alternative as I’m too used to the Windows interface. Maybe one day I’ll fully switch.
WSL was cool but couldn’t do all the things I need
Recently switched back to Windows. I had Pop OS working pretty well with some workarounds for some of my favorite games, but taking time to get them working was draining.
that’s ok we all have our reasons to use whatever we are using. Im using windows but dual boot arch sometimes for coding because I own a 9 year old nvidia card. Fuck you nvidia ! I will switch uninstall windows as soon as I have enough money to upgrade to an amd gpu.
I totally get that Linux is excellent, but the Linux community can be exhausting sometimes.
“It’s so easy to use these days!” is rapidly followed by “You just need to grep the package and recompile it for your kernel.”
My entire homelab is Linux based. Still use Windows on my desktop.
I heard a saying once, “Linux is for people who don’t value their time”
Thought it was pretty funny
I use windows 10 simply because it just works for my needs. Its just customizable enough for me and I’ve tried Linux and it’s too much effort to get everything I use working on there. I mostly use my PC for gaming anyways and then my laptop for work.
TempleOS
macOS
Arch Linux with Hyprland and no GUI apps except Firefox and Steam, I don’t even have a file manager
Are you the guy on the Linux memes made by Windows users?
Damn, I almost have the exact same setup, but I have some GUI apps.
I use Arch btw
i use arch btw
Windows10, cause I’m a basic bitch. I’ve tried to run Linux a couple times years ago, but games not running properly and me not getting over the learning curve always got in the way.
You should give it another go now then. Gaming on Linux is very good nowadays with many games supporting the OS directly (even more now thanks to SteamDeck) and there are many ways to run even games that don’t. Also, there is a lot of Linux distributions that are extremely easy to setup and maintain.
Arch Linux (BTW)

Puts chain mail on
Sigh…
Windows. Because gaming.
Windows isn’t a bad OS. It’s not perfect but neither is Linux. I use Windows because I love .NET and because of gaming.
I develop on C# and game heavily, both things on Linux Mint.
How do you build ui apps on Linux?? If there’s a way to build aWPF app on Linux I’d definitely be stoked.
Specifically WPF there’s Avalonia. But you got MAUI, and Uno. I won’t say Mono, because…well…Mono. But there are choices.
If you tell me MAUI or Uno are better than WinUI I’d be tempted to try. I think I upset the poor Bing AI asking questions about WinUI the other day when it finally gave up and said something akin to “It seems like WinUI may not be ready for what you are trying to accomplish yet.”
Yup, gaming and at this point I’m pretty entrenched.
I’ve tried Linux multiple times and might try it again, but usually it comes down to gaming.

Arch.
Gentoo with a custom tiling window manager written in x86 assembly in my free time.
Just kidding, I use Windows.
MacOS
