I use NixOS on my pc, laptop, and server, although I dual-boot windows on my pc to play some games.

My phone is android, I have a pinephone but I can’t get discord and other things to work well on it so it can’t be my daily driver right now. (I know Matrix chat is better than discord, I even host my own instance, but everyone in my school uses discord so there’s no way to switch).

I’m currently using Nobara a Fedora fork and upgraded today to version 38 it was a bit of a stretch. I had to delete many things in my /etc/ to get GNOME 44 working. Bluetooth and the panel on the top right is a bit buggy but it works.

On my laptop I use arch with hyprland

I use whatever is the best fit for the work I need to do. I mainly use macOS, and try to get away with using VM’s with macOS as my host system whenever possible.

I used to be on the Arch bandwagon but after migrating to a MacBook for my daily driver computer it’s mostly just Debian-based distros when the need arises, Kali for work and headless Debian for homelab stuff. I rarely boot my Windows gaming PC anymore. I do have some Windows VM’s for testing exploits and payloads. And emulated Windows 95-98 machines for that OG Oregon Trail fix.

My first foray was with Ubuntu and Mint, and I found the whole experience far too on-rails for me. A few years later, I made the permanent move from Windows to Arch, largely because of how good their documentation on GPU passthrough via OVMF/VFIO was. It was also an excellent opportunity to be forced to learn how my computer works.

Ironically, I almost never open virtual machines for gaming, I have come across very very little that cannot be handled by wine, ge-wine, or proton.

EndeavourOS. It’s Arch but without the faff, it just works and looks gorgeous.

Void Linux and NetBSD.

Run Arch on my main PC. Proxmox on my home server with Ubuntu server as VM and random containers.

Void Linux is home. Plus, as soon as word got out that Windows 11 had those insane system requirements and the TPM stuff I decided I would abandon Winblows for good once 10 reaches end of life.

macOS at work and Debian on my personal computer.

Arch. I got it working 3 years ago, it’s still working, stable. On my main laptop, though, I’m running windows, and planning to install Fedora when I get the chance.

I’m a grumpy old man when it comes to OSes. I started on Gentoo, used Arch for a while, a few years of Ubuntu, then a bunch of different Ubuntu-based distros, Fedora and all the Fedora spins, even ran the Hannah Montana OS as a meme for a week.

Eventually, got bored of the latest shiny things and fixing the best thing ever, and am using Kubuntu with Wayland. It just works, got no complaints.

I was using Pop!_OS for a long time, but finally switched to Fedora and I love it because it feels so up to date.

Fedora.

I’ve also been getting more familiar with CoreOS / SilverBlue recently.

Slackware. Though I can make most things work.

I’ll probably have to go with FreeBSD for their minimal base and incredibly clean and well-documented code and utilities.
