windows ftw (forced through work) linux btw (because tortuous work)

I use Fedora 40, with KDE spin since I’m not a fan of the GNOME UI. I actually have windows on a sperate SSD on standby just in case I need some program that won’t work even on WINE. The user experience is much better than windows, no random bugs/inexplicable disconnection of USB devices, No ads, No random bloatware that can only be uninstalled through the terminal like edge, The right-click menu doesn’t take 6 seconds to load for inexplicable reasons & it doesn’t raise the temperature of my PC by 10C because I opened my web browser or VSC

I can’t get SteamVR to work in Linux unfortunately, it’s the primary thing preventing me from deleting my Windows partition

Switched to Mint for desktop. Been mostly fine. Getting it installed was surprisingly harrowing. Annoyed that most mod tools for games are targeting windows. I guess I have to figure out wine and its whole prefix system.

Ubuntu WSL on work sanctioned laptop

Are there seriously no lemmy users on a Mac? Lol.

I use Debian.

Windows, but I’m looking to get a laptop I can dual boot into Linux. The pipeline strikes again.

I like that you’re asking this on Lemmy, home of Linux lovers.

Windows. /s

The diagram of Linux fans and Lemmy users is pretty much a single circle.

I’d use linux in a heartbeat if it was supported by the tools I use for work.

For anything non-gaming I use Linux.

For anything gaming I still use Linux.

I was dual booting windows NT4 and Slackware 3.0. A lot of my old 3.11 and 95 software didn’t work on NT4, so eventually I stopped using it.

I’ve moved on to Arch Linux, now, but the software I use to sync my palm pilot doesn’t work. It’s available in the AUR, but it won’t build.

I use arch btw.

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.

Built a new computer last year and didn’t want anything to do with win11, so I switched to Linux Mint. I really like it, and there’s a lot of help all around online. Thankfully because of Proton, I haven’t had any trouble playing any game yet. It’s been great!

I do miss ClipStudio for painting and OneNote for ttrpg notes, but I’ve been making due with Krita and Notion.
