What's your main Operating System?

my desktop pc runs modified windows 10 currently, but i plan on building a new computer this year that will run windows 11. i also have a steam deck so i am getting more familiar with linux mint. i've also got some older machines that run windows 98 and windows vista.

one of my plans after the new computer build is to fix the battery on my old gaming laptop and run either mint or another distro on it. i grew up using laptops and while i love having a desktop, there are days where i just want to lay in bed and use a computer instead of a tablet.

After a long battle where I jumped between Windows and Ubuntu, I have finally made my choice and I am using Ubuntu now. The main thing that was keeping me from making the full transition was playing video games but now that I've stopped to take time for my other hobbies, I've switched to Linux completely. It's a bit intimidating but I'm making my marks and I do believe that I will be able to do what I need with the laptop I've setup.

Congratulations.

Depending on what types of games you play, most things are playable on Linux with either wine or proton. I've been an only Linux user for years now and haven't looked back too often. You get used to it and then one day you'll feel as weird about having to use Windows.

i use windows 10 and linux mint 22 cinnamon just as much as each other!

i need to learn how wine works though, i dont plan on moving onto win11 once win10 becomes obselete...

windows 11 :[

ive been trying out linuxmint xfce on an old thinkpad and it is amazing comparatively. almost all of my everyday stuff works on it and the only reason i havent kicked windows out of my main laptop for good is because of clip studio paint

Did I mention I use Arch, by the way?????

I use either Windows 10 or the latest version of macOS. I used to use Arch Linux with a Hyprland DE, but switched back after my nvidia drivers borked and I couldn't fix it after trying for a couple weeks.

Since then I switched to an AMD graphic card so I could now switch back to Linux, but I might wait until SteamOS is better supported on outside hardware and I'm in a better position to mess around with my setup.

macOS is great, it runs smooth and not sure if Apple has walked back on their AI stuff but I don't see anything on their DE that have genAI included, maybe they realised Apple Intelligence is Apple STUPID!!!
