    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.

      Ay, recently jumped on debian!

      Running debian on a vm, till I get familiar enough to fully replace my win10 os (probably in 9months max).😄

    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.

      Are there seriously no lemmy users on a Mac?

      Artist are probably still on Reddit to access the larger user base.

      I do use a Mac and I hate it… It’s a birthday gift from my family, because owning a Mac makes the “man”…

      Uuhg, I always need to learn things twice… First how it works on Linux and than how to reproduce the same on Mac…

      There are to many shitty workarounds that do not behave the same way Linux does even though it’s UNIX based.

      • .plist files comes to mind
      • how to make a samba share mount on boot/access
      • Default’s to zsh
      • Shitty default terminal and dumb keyboard shortcuts…
      • Default applications are useless… (Thanks homebrew 👏)

      I fucking hate it… And after 4 years of intense use I still do not understand why people would willingly buy something like that closed crap ecosystem. Maybe just a hipster thing…

      I bought a old Imac at a thrift store and put XFCE on it. It was a great machine until the power supply finally gave out. I would do it again if I had the chance.

      My work computer is a MacBook since I need it for JAMF stuff but all my personal machines are Linux or dual-booted w/Windows

    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.
