      Are you me? All that plus kubernetes clusters on a dell t430 running proxmox behind an opnsense appliance.

    Ubuntu 2204 with normal Gnome on a Thinkpad T14, used for both work and personal stuff. Been eyeing Fedora Silverblue for a while…

    For gaming I use GeforceNow on that same laptop.

      Ubuntu 2204

      OMG! What’s it like‽ Did Linux become a mainstream desktop by then?

      How’d you smuggle it back in time? And no: It doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that Linux maintained backwards compatibility for the ancient hardware we’re all running for that long 👍

    Windows 11, but I just finally got around to switching back to Garuda Linux last night. We’ll see how it goes. Still have a lot of headaches and assorted annoyances to work out.

      Why not a more stable and proven distro like Fedora workstation? I game on steam on an old P1 running Fedora 40 if that’s of any worth.

        Fedora has given me more headaches than arch has, per unit time. At least in arch I can fix the problems myself without looking at obscure bug reports.

        It was a long time ago though, so I may be looking through anti-rose tinted glasses, misremembering, or misjudging my experience.

        I like to tinker with my system.

        NOTE: I’m not the person you were questioning.

          I went from Debian to Arch to Alpine to Fedora, Fedora 38 was very much plug and play as far as drivers for the used laptops I buy. Been rock solid ever since.

          Distro hop and try it out, a live image is only a dd command away.

            I know it was. Drivers are simple for my system anyways.

            I care more about the AUR and system customisation. Fedora has nothing like aconfmgr that I’m aware of. Nix’s system seems to be better but even more complicated.

    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.

        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 11 on my Surface Pro, Windows 10 on my main computer and bedroom computer (the smartest tv is a dumb tv connected to a cheap minipc), and Linux Mint on my server and old laptop.

    Windows 11. And I hate it.

    Yes, I did try Linux. I had a great time. But unfortunately my Windows installation always breaks whenever I dual boot it with Linux.

        Yes, I partitioned my drive and installed Linux on that (I only have one SSD installed, it’s a laptop)

        Maybe once I get my desktop fixed I’ll try it again. That one isn’t “officially” compatible with Windows 11.

            Yeah, that’s what I’ve been told.

            I’ll check if my lappy has another SSD slot, because if not, then… dual booting with a broken Windows installation is my only option.

              I had the same experience using a single hard drive. Two, ime, works flawlessly. Though i haven’t added windows boot to grub so i need to use BIOS to load windows, which is easy enough i haven’t bothered with grub. Your experience may vary based on BIOS.

                If I didn’t straight up delete my Windows installation (which contains important files), I would have to use MORE space just to run Windows on a VM in the Linux environment.

                If only I can just run the actual contents of my Windows partition on a VM, that’d be great.

    I use 9 systems currently:

    • 5 Gentoo
    • 2 Arch
    • 1 FreeBSD (OpnSense)
    • 1 w11

    And the w11 is a work laptop that is getting Gentoo whenever I get a minute, leaving w11 on as small a partition as I can get away with for a once a month check in to intune.
